Great memory of fishing for the first time

Half Day – Fishing & Sightseeing6 adults2 children

Captain Ted was a great host and really helped us feel at home. We were a party of 6 and one of the kids (my nephew) had never gone fishing. He caught two big striped bass and another nephew caught three. We got great photos and made great memories. Captain Ted shared a lot of information annd history about the local area and helped everyone get all the fishing set up. Can’t recommend captain Ted and Agawam highly enough.

Hey Steve, thank you for the great review! I had a wonderful time with you as well. I especially love the family connections to Normans well and the stories of the family. I hope we can do it again in the future.

    Wonderful half day trip!!

    Half Day – Fishing & Sightseeing • 5 adults

    Ted was amazing! Even though there has been a lack of fish in the area, Ted showed us a great time! He is a wealth of knowledge about the history and wildlife in the area (and some pop culture). He answered every question we had and some we didn't think of! We saw seals, went to Rockport (best lobster rolls and homemade ice cream.. omg!) A great day for me and my family..would do it again!

    Response from Charter operator

    despite the lack of fish activity, I’m glad we had so much fun with you and your family! I had a ton of fun with you guys as well. I hope we can do it again sometime in the future please come back to the northeast and visit again.

    great fishing experience

    Half Day – Fishing & Sightseeing • 5 adults • 3 children

    Four hours on the water chasing striped bass was a true test of patience, but the explosive fights made every minute worth it. Landing two beautiful, hard-hitting stripers delivered an instant adrenaline rush that reminded me why I love this sport. Releasing both fish healthy back into the water was the perfect ending to a rewarding, textbook session

    Beautiful coastline & islands

    Half Day Trip – Ipswich Fishing • 2 adults

    Captain Ted has fished the local waters for many years & actually conducted tours on some of the local islands years ago. We got a local history lesson along with great fishing. My daughter caught the biggest fish of her life - and a keeper! A trip that she'll remember forever.

    We loved it!

    2 Hour Trip – Lobster Fishing • 4 adults

    We did not catch any lobster, but that didnt matter. We had an incredible morning exploring the waters. The kids loved pulling up the traps and learning about the marine life.

    Response from Charter operator

    thank you, Kathy for the wonderful words! I’m glad you guys had such a great trip. We did see one baby lobster at least and lots of other Marine life. Hope you enjoyed the crabs. Have a wonderful time for the rest of your trip.

    We didn't catch anything but not for the lack of trying. We had a good time with Captain Ted.

    Response from Charter operator

    Matt, thank you for the nice review, I hope we can do it again sometime with better weather. I’m usually available for an accurate Fish report. Glad the kids enjoyed the lobster traps. Despite the high wind It was a beautiful day full of fun.
