So, first off let me first say that Chip had us out there for just about 6 hours; it was a scheduled 4 hour trip.

So I decided to take my 10 year old son deep sea fishing. I simply googled “deep sea fishing RI” and a bunch of choices came up.  Not knowing anyone of them from personal experience I went with reviews and FEEL.
I chose Real Addiction Charters. And I hit the proverbial jackpot. All I can say is WOW!!
Chip and his second mate were beyond phenomenal. This guy and the second mate knew their stuff and they provided my son and I with a memory that will live forever.
Chip and his second mate were cordial, funny and right there to provide assistance when needed while allowing us as much autonomy as we could handle.
And he books in a way where you don’t feel rushed. The fish weren’t biting at first, but that was of no concern to Chip. With his superior knowledge of the sea and amazing equipment (that was very interesting by the way) coupled with the fact he was willing to basically stay out there for AS LONG AS IT TOOK, anyone who charters with him is taking their best chance at a successful and amazingly memorable experience.
We already booked another trip with him for next year!! The day we got back.
By the way my son caught a sea bass that we kept and Chip flayed it right there on his boat.
Hands down Chip is the man.

Captain Chip was fantastic and we had a wonderful time out on our charter.  We lost count of the number of fish we caught, but we caught striped bass less than 28” and some over 34” so we didn’t get any keepers.  We did keep 3 of the bluefish we caught and they were big and tough fighters.  Captain Chip knows his way around Aquidneck Island and it was funny watching others follow him/us as we kept catching fish!  My friend and his son from PA both commented many times on how this was the best fishing trip they had ever been on.  All thanks to Captain Chip.  He was fantastic with 12 year old Andrew.  We bottom fished with eels, used bobbers, umbrellas, etc.  Tried all types of poles and setups and were delighted with how many fish we got on the lines.  Would highly recommend Reel Addiction Charters.

Captain chip and mate Paul were phenomenal. We started trolling for striper and caught two nice ones right off the bat, the winds picked up and seas got rough so we headed into the bay and fished for tautog and sea bass. We caught a ton of both and took home a cooler full of fish. This charter is phenomenal, great conversations, great experience, they showed us landmarks, famous houses on our way out, put us on the fish. Plenty of live bait. It was a great experience even with all that Mother Nature threw at us !!  We will be back again!!

A phenomenal fishing experience with Captain Chip. With his crew-mate Jay, Chip gave Ian and myself a fishing trip we’ll always remember. Packed fulled of excitement, adrenalin, and lots and lots of fish. We darted backwards and forwards in search of fish, and, boy, did we find them! Battling with tough and tenacious blue fish. Testing our strength to the limits reeling them in. Then came the striped bass; equally as strong and warrior-like. Even caught sight of a trigger fish playing with a crab out at sea. The best fishing experience we’ve ever had. Chip and Jay were courteous, insightful, incredibly passionate, and determined for us to have the trip of a lifetime. And we certainly got that. Thanks, Chip and Jay, for an awesome time. Mandy and Ian (UK).

Capt Chip and First Mate Jay exceeded expectations. Aside from a reel malfunction, which was quickly resolved; the trip was extremely rewarding. Even though conditions weren’t ideal (10+ kt winds and 2 foot swells) Capt Chip knew a spot that would produce.  Got hits on every bait and if we were more experienced catch count would have been higher.  Greg - my BnL caught a monster Sea Bas (21 inches) the state record is 26 inches so he was ecstatic.

First Mate Jay was efficient and very helpful.  Never waited more than a few seconds for new bait to be hooked up and though snags were few either he quickly assisted in getting terminal tackle cleared or replaced. He more than deserved the 20% of the charter that is standard practice.

Would charter with this crew again and highly recommend them for anyone who wants a great time on the water.  Thank you Capt Chip and Jay
