    A-Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on December 24, 2024 • 2 adults

    If there’s one person who can turn a casual day out into an unforgettable, life-changing adventure, it’s Captain Jude of ReelCrazy. My wife and I were lucky enough to experience his magic during our honeymoon in Tangalle, and I can confidently say that meeting him was one of the absolute highlights of our trip—not just in Sri Lanka but of all our travels. This is a memory I will cherish until the day I die. From the moment we met Captain Jude, his energy and warmth set the tone for what was to come. He greeted us with the kind of infectious enthusiasm that immediately puts you at ease. Though he typically caters to experienced fishermen chasing big catches, he went above and beyond to tailor an outing specifically for me—a complete novice in fishing. His patience, kindness, and genuine passion for sharing his craft made me feel like I belonged out there on the water. What sets Captain Jude apart is his incredible flexibility and willingness to accommodate every need. Knowing it was our honeymoon, he customized the entire experience to ensure it was romantic, adventurous, and memorable. From sharing tips about fishing to pointing out the beauty of the sea, he balanced everything perfectly. He even helped me reel in my very first catch—an experience I’ll never forget! It was clear that he was as excited about my success as I was. Captain Jude is not just a master of his craft; he’s also a true entertainer. His banter and sharp sense of humor kept us laughing throughout the day. Whether he was sharing stories from his years at sea or cracking jokes that left us in stitches, his vibrant personality turned a great outing into an extraordinary one. And let’s talk about his knowledge—this man knows the sea like the back of his hand. His sailing and fishing expertise are unparalleled, and he has a sixth sense for finding the best spots. It’s no wonder experienced anglers trust him to guide them to their dream catches. But what impressed me even more was his ability to share that knowledge in a way that even a beginner like me could understand and appreciate. I cannot recommend Captain Jude and ReelCrazy enough. If you’re considering a charter fishing experience in Tangalle, don’t hesitate for a second—this is the person you want to guide you. He doesn’t just offer a service; he offers a memory that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Captain Jude, for making our honeymoon so special. You’re a legend, and we’ll be singing your praises forever.

    Half a day with captain Jude

    5 Hour Trip – Popping & Jigging on December 14, 2024

    Had a amazing experience with Jude. Definitely a well known fisherman and knows all the good spots. We did different types of fishing (trolling and spinning) with both had great success. Jude is a passionate fisher who loves to give the tour. The boat itself was perfect for the activity, had 2 trolling attachments and the rods themselves were also great (Europeaan high quality). Some fishing boats around us clearly didn’t have the same type of material as us, no trolling attachments at the boat, only spinning reels and no baitrunners. Also insurance, applying at the coast guard was all fixed for me which gave me a good feeling. Jude speaks good English and is in for a good laugh, definitely nice to spend a day with him on the boat.

    Half Day Fishing

    5 Hour Trip – Popping & Jigging on November 21, 2023

    I had amazing two days fishing with Captain Jude from Reel Crazy Tangalle Sport Fishing. Jude is an awesome fisherman and he knows the best fishing spots. I mostly wanted do popping and stickbait fishing for GT. This was absolutely crazy and I caught many good GTs an lost a few monsters. I fished a few places around the world for GT but this was by far the best! Make sure you bring some poppers or stickbaits with you because they are hard to get in Sri Lanka. We also did some jigging an the reef drop and live bait fishing which was very good as well and I caught many different fish. The boat is in a good shape and we were able to go out far. All in all, both fishing trips with Captain Jude from Reel Crazy Tangalle Sport fishing were absolutely amazing.

    5 Hour Trip – Live Bait Fishing on November 19, 2025 • 2 adults

    Had a great fishing experience with Reel Crazy - Tangalle Sport Fishing Tours! We went for a 5-hour morning fishing trip with the guys. Everything was well organized! The team is very experienced and knowledgeable, very familiar with the location and its best fishing spots. We were provided various kinds of equipment, as we did not have our own with us, and it was good quality. I would definitely recommend this unique experience - fishing in the Indian Ocean while your stay in Sri-Lanka.

    Trip Report – Alexey & Nathalie (Russia) Today I had the pleasure of taking Alexey and Nathalie from Russia on a 4-hour fishing trip. They are wonderful people and passionate anglers who travelled all the way from Mirissa to fish with me in Tangalle. The conditions were great, and the action didn’t disappoint! We managed to land a beautiful rainbow runner, a few nice snappers, and a stunning queenfish. They enjoyed every moment on the water, and it was a fun, memorable trip for all of us. Looking forward to fishing with them again! ?

    **Fishing Report – 10th January 2025** *Guests: Niclos and his elder brother* What a beautiful day it was on January 10th, 2025! We kicked off the day with the peaceful sound of the waves and the breathtaking sight of the sunrise. It was an unforgettable start to what turned out to be a fantastic fishing adventure. The action began early with both Niclos and his brother reeling in some impressive catches. They enjoyed the thrill of screaming reels right from the get-go, catching Spanish Mackerel, Barracuda, and Giant Trevally (GT). They were using light spinning reels, which made the fight with the average-sized GTs even more exciting. Both brothers had a blast casting and battling the fish on light rods, making for an incredibly fun and challenging experience. As the sun rose higher and the heat intensified, we decided to head back. The brothers were all smiles, reflecting on what was undoubtedly one of their best fishing experiences. Niclos mentioned that he would love to come back again soon! It was truly a wonderful day on the water, and I look forward to having them back for another unforgettable adventure. Tight lines!

    It was the last day of the year, and the morning greeted us with a promise of adventure. The sun rose gently over the ocean, painting the waves with hues of gold. Our guests for the day, Marcus and his girlfriend, arrived at the dock with warm smiles that set the tone for an incredible journey ahead. Our first destination was a spot known for Giant Trevally (GT). The conditions were serene, and the water shimmered invitingly under the morning light. Spirits were high as we cast our lines, brimming with optimism. Despite our best efforts, the GT remained elusive. Refusing to be discouraged, we decided to cover more ground, hoping for better luck elsewhere. As we moved to deeper waters, the day’s challenge became clear—the fish weren’t biting easily. Observing the calm waters, I, as the captain, decided to change strategy. We set our sights on the horizon, scanning for birds that could lead us to a school of tuna. After some time, even this proved fruitless. Undeterred, I consulted with local fishermen we encountered. I went for the ideal jigging spots. This shift in tactics proved to be the game-changer. As soon as Marcus dropped his jig to the bottom, he felt the thrilling tug of a strike. Excitement surged as he battled his first catch, a determined fighter that eventually escaped. Undaunted, he sent his jig back down and was rewarded with a beautiful 3kg grouper. The joy on his face was contagious. Not long after, Marcus reeled in a stunning Yellowspotted trevally about 6kg. His persistence and determination were paying off, and the thrill of the catch was palpable. We did lose a jig along the way, but by then, the smiles and laughter on board outweighed the loss. By the end of the trip, Marcus and his girlfriend were overjoyed. The day may not have gone exactly as planned, but the twists and turns made it all the more memorable. They appreciated every moment on the water and promised to return for another adventure. As the time passes, we sailed back to the dock, reflecting on a day filled with perseverance, camaraderie, and the magic of the ocean. Marcus and his girlfriend left with stories to tell, and we, too, were reminded of the unpredictable beauty of fishing—where every day holds the promise of something unforgettable. Here’s to more adventures and tight lines in the new year! ?

    Anither thriller day Ethan, Joshua, Daneil Our day began at 5:30 AM, with the sky gently painted in hues of gray as a light drizzle set the scene for an exciting trolling adventure. It was a day brimming with promise, as our trio of eager young anglers—Joshua, Ethan, and Daniel—brought not only their gear but also an infectious passion for fishing. The first thrill came quickly. With lines out and reels steady, we landed our first catch—a stunning spotted trevally. The excitement in the boys’ eyes was unmatched. Encouraged by the success, we pressed on, scanning the waters and following the telltale signs of birds diving into a feeding frenzy. The real action began when the reel suddenly screamed like a race car engine—a sound every angler lives for. After a spirited fight, we brought aboard a magnificent Spanish mackerel, its sleek body shimmering in the dim morning light. Cheers erupted on deck as we celebrated the victory. The day was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and memorable moments. Joshua, Ethan, and Daniel proved not only to be skilled young anglers but also an absolute joy to fish with. Their energy and enthusiasm turned a rainy day into a truly magical experience. As we wrapped up and shared stories of the morning’s adventure, we knew this was a day none of us would forget. Many praises to these incredible young fishermen! Until we meet again, tight lines and endless adventures await.
