Newburyport has a fish with your name on it, so let Reel Justice Family Charters help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Travis, bringing aboard their professional experience.

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Striped Bass, Haddock, Atlantic Mackerel, Porbeagle Shark, Thresher Shark, Bluefin Tuna, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Travis can also help you try kite fishing.

You'll be fishing aboard a 25' Sportsman center console with capacity for 5 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Travis has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Bottled waters are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Reel Justice Family Charters is just a click away.

Best Trip I’ve had in YEARS
Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing on August 2, 20263 adults2 children

Captain Travis was absolutely incredible. Very knowledgeable about the fish, went right into school after school, and if the bite slowed down, he was in touch with anyone he could to find the next one. The boat? immaculate. The equipment? in great shape. The captain? friendly, accommodating, and hilarious. Could not have asked for a better day. I would highly recommend. We will be going back as often as possible. When we need a Charter near the Salisbury area, we wont consider anyone else. Thanks from us for a great time!!!

Great Captain!
Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing on July 8, 20263 adults

We were marking a lot of Stripers. But they just weren't hungry. Capt is obviously known in the area as other boats came by and told him they were having the same experience. But Travis didn't give up.We moved until we found them. We caught several slot size fish and we were all psyched to be bringing home dinner!!! We'll be back!

Very enjoyable family experience
Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing - 1:00 PM on July 28, 20263 adults

We had a wonderful time on our half-day fishing excursion. While the weather did not want to cooperate, we were still successful in landing fish and had lots of fun doing it. We plan to rebook in the future when we return back to the southern Maine coast.

Doubling up on 40 inch fish only to have to send them back stinks but what a memory. Cant wait to see you again.
