We went out for an eight hour striped bass fishing trip with Captain Jason in Portland, Maine. It was our first ever charter and we had an absolute blast. Jason is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and really takes his time sharing his skills with you. It felt like Jason personalized our trip just for us, which is what lots of other reviewers have said too. We started the morning fishing for mackerel for bait, then we drove on to an amazing fishing spot while Jason pointed out several landmarks. It felt like a sightseeing cruise and fishing charter all in one, which made my wife very happy. She got lots of pictures of light houses, seals, and other wildlife. We caught 11 huge striped bass and one was keeper size, which Jason filleted for us. He even gave lots of helpful cooking recommendations. Whether you are a complete beginner or experienced, you really can’t do better than a charter with Captain Jason!

Captain Jason was awesome. he was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the waters. I had my 2 boys with me (19 and 17), and none of us had done any ocean fishing. Jason was extremely patient in teaching everyone the proper techniques. I’d definitely recommend Whiptail to others and would go out on the water with Jason again.

he kind of catered the trip for the kids to catch more fish and have gentler waters.

captain was very friendly and got us on the fish quickly will definitely book with him again

Jason was a great guide! We couldn’t fish due to high wind but he took us sightseeing & it was great!
