Make some memories in New Bedford and go fishing with Smokin Reels. With Captain Stephen at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

These waters are known for Striped Bass, Black Seabass, Bluefish, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep.

Smokin Reels is a kid-friendly charter service, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You don’t need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. Some species have strict size and limits to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

You’ll be dropping lines from a 26’ Center console that can carry up to 6 passengers; however, 4 are included in the pricing. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

It’s recommended to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. If you have any questions not answered in this listing, please don’t hesitate to message us!

And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Smokin Reels is just a click away.
