Keepin It Reel Sportfishing – New London
Spend the day with Keepin It Reel Sportfishing and get hooked on fishing in New London!
These waters are known for Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Bluefin Tuna, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few!
On these trips, you can expect to see lots of sea life including but not limited to whales and dolphins! While we like to focus on jig and pop light tackle techniques for Bluefin Tuna, there are times we may need to troll. Although trolling is usually not our method of choice, it can be extremely effective and very exciting when multiple rods go off at the same time with large pelagics jumping out of the water to eat our baits!
Your excursion begins aboard a 33' Rampage sportfishing vessel with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Ayoub A5.0Five-star charter
12 Hour Trip – Midshore Tuna on July 8, 2025★★★★★ Captain Chris from Keeping It Real Fishing Charter out of Connecticut delivered one of the best fishing trips I’ve ever experienced. From the moment we got lines in the water, it was nonstop tuna action. If you’re looking for incredible tuna fishing, this is the charter to book. Not only was the fishing amazing, but the entire trip was unforgettable. We were surrounded by incredible ocean wildlife — dolphins swimming alongside the boat and even whales in the distance. The scenery alone would have made the trip worth it, but the constant action made it even better. Captain Chris is extremely experienced and knowledgeable. He took the time to teach techniques, explain what we were doing, and make sure everyone was comfortable and involved. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time tuna fishing, he makes sure you learn and have a great time. He had absolutely everything we needed on the boat — all the gear, equipment, and knowledge to make the trip successful — and somehow still offers some of the most affordable charter prices around. Landon, the first mate super helpful, fun to be around, and kept the energy high the entire trip. He made everything smooth and the whole experience even better. Between the nonstop action, amazing wildlife sightings, Captain Chris’s expertise, Landon’s great attitude, and the great price, this was easily a five-star experience. Highly recommend Keeping It Real Fishing Charter if you want an unforgettable tuna fishing trip.

12 Hour Trip – Midshore Tuna on September 8, 2024Nothing short of a well oiled machine on Keepin' It Reel. Captain Chris & crew do whatever it takes to put you on the fish. Whether you've been fishing for years or taking your kid out for the first time Chris is patient and more than willing to share tips and tricks to get it done. Both boats are up too date with nothing but the best gear and electronics and Chris and crew are great all around people both professionally and personally.
