My 8 year old son and I went for a half day trip in the morning and it was just stunning. Captain Jim and his wife Caroline made it a hack of an experience for my son and also myself. My son caught multiple fish under guidance of the two and pulled stripe bass on board himself. Even through the barrier of English language for my son from Germany he felt so comfortable and warm onboard that he doesn’t stop talking about this fishing trip Best regards Gunnar and Elias

Fantastic day with my kids. They have been asking about going tuna fishing out of New York for nearly a decade based on stories I have told them from my years growing up I. The area. Being in Georgia makes the trip difficult to time and coordinate based o. Their busy schedule at home. This year, stars aligned and I was finally able to fill my promise. My sons had a fantastic time and are already asking about next year. Captain James and Mike have helped me to establish what I hope will be many... More

We had the most amazing fishing experience with captain Jim and his mate Mark. The boat was clean, spacious, and fully equipped, and both Jim and Mark were so knowledgeable and eager to help us reel in the biggest catch. We began by trawling for striped bass and caught at least half a dozen huge striped bass that were more than 50 lb each! It was an unforgettable experience. We then went fishing for fluke and sea bass and that was equally fruitful. This was one of our best fishing charter experiences... More

It was a pleasure having you aboard Helen, you did a spectacular job reeling in those bass! I know your Dad and brothers arms were pretty tired after reeling in so many TROPHY SIZE striped bass! It was a great day on the water & we look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for booking with Tailwrapped Sportfishing charters. Sincerely, Capt. Jim & crew

Fishing with Jim McSwigin and his mate Brian was a blast! There were five of us who were older males, a female, and young child. We all had a great experience with Jim McSwigin and would recommend the trip to the experienced and inexperienced angler. Thank you, Jim, for a great day we have already marked our Calendar for July 2024. Do yourself a favor and book a trip with Jim McSwigin I promise you will not be disappointed.
