There's a fish with your name on it in Hampton and Reel Balance Fishing Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Todd is prepared to put you on fish.

Top targets include Striped Bass, Bluefish, Cod, Flounder, Haddock, Atlantic Mackerel, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Reel Balance Charters welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks!

You'll find yourself aboard a 30' Blackfin center console with a capacity for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses and sunscreen (non-spray). Ice and bottled water will be provided. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Hampton for yourself, with Reel Balance Charters!

THE BEST TRIP EVER
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 1, 20262 adults

Amazing private fishing trip! Captain Todd provided a fantastic experience from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, and knew exactly where to find the fish. The trip was well organized, the boat was clean and comfortable, and he made sure everyone had a great time. Whether you're an experienced angler or a beginner, you'll have an unforgettable day on the water. Highly recommend booking a trip—you won't be disappointed!

Good times
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 5, 20264 adults

It was just me and the kids. Older teens. Our first time out had a blast. Saw a seal a dolphin some neat sail noats and kids were catching fish as soon as captain said to toss their lines. Good times. Nice guy. Might turn this into traditional summer thing 🤷

We couldn’t have asked for a better day than we had with Todd out on the ocean. From the second we entered his boat we were impressed on how clean and taken care of his boat and tackle was. He is very professional and we did have some luck on our side also as we saw everything from dolphins, sharks and whales on our travels. He is very knowledgeable and willing to pass the knowledge along! It didn’t take more than a few seconds after the first line hit the bottom of the ocean to have fish on the other end of the line. As soon as the fish would stop biting he was moving us to a different location to find them again. Amazing trip I know we will be back in the future. Thank you Todd you made it a great trip!

Such a good birthday present!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 22, 20251 adult

I sent my wife on a tripping trip with Todd for her birthday and she loved it so much. It was super special for her, she talks about it all the time, she learned a lot and came back with so much to tell us. Booking with Todd was simple, he met us on time, and it was easy. Boats is pretty. Definitely plan to send her with him again. Glad she was well taken care of and that she had such a good time!

Laid back captain, beautiful boat.
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 22, 20253 adults1 child

Captain Todd was awesome. He was communicative and straight forward with all my questions. He let us come early and wasted no time getting underway. I had my 8 year old son with me and he was very accommodating. I highly recommend Reel Balance fishing charters with Captain Todd. We will definitely be hiring him again next year!

Response from Captain

It was great spending time with all of you. I’m looking forward to seeing you again. Thanks Todd
