    Persistence required to find the fish

    3/4 Day Trip – Cape Cod Bay • 2 adults

    Captain Cliff absolutely could not be nicer. Very accommodating to our needs. The boat was great. We went on a six-hour trip. For the first three, we caught nothing. Then we found the right spot and for the next three, we caught lots of sea bass. Only two were keepers but the others were sure fun to catch. We did luck out with PERFECT weather and calm seas.

    Reported catch:
    Black Seabass

    The captain was great! The water was a little rough and took awhile to get on the bite. This boat was capable of getting us closer to shore and stay in one place with its trolling motor where we started catching stripers! I caught my personal best striper at 37” and my buddy got 2 at 39”. The captain also fished which helped my wife and my friend’s fiancé get their hands on some stripers too!

    Absolutely top notch outfit. They run two boats and we got Capt. Cliff. He was a blast to hang out with and really knew his stuff. We purchased the 3/4 day trip and ended up landing 20 fish (stripers and blues). I highly recommend Smokin Reels and we will definitely be back. Keep it up fellas!

    Weather was not our friend, but Captain got us on fish. 10 out of 10, the boys enjoyed it and didn't want to go back in. Was a great experience and was impressed with the communication from the Captain before, during and after the trip.
