My wife booked a fishing trip with Captain Peter and FlylightCharters for my Father-in-law, my two…read moresons (ages 7 and 9), and me for our birthdays. By far one of the better private charters I have taken. Capt. Peter gave more than great directions on finding his dock and boat and a very thorough overview of all the safety equipment before we set out. Seas were calm and the weather cool for a July Sunday. Capt Peter made sure everyone was safe when on the boat and it was moving, was very knowledgeable about the long-Island sound and various landmarks during our charter. We followed the birds but the usual spot was quite crowded with a lot of other boats so Peter took us to a much less crowded spot and we got into hitting strippers and blues pretty good. What was the best thing for me was how patient and attentive Capt. Peter was to my two boys. I have been on many other charters before where the Capt. And crew are not nearly as good or concerned about the kids. But Capt. Peter answered every question they had (which were sometimes asked multiple times), he was great helping them fish so my father-in-law an I could man our own rods, and was great at teaching my boys how to cast, jig and reel. With a little instruction from Capt. Peter, my 9 year old was even able to land his first striper completely unassisted! I can't tell you how happy and proud this made my son. While we did not round out the day with any keepers, we definitely caught a nice showing of fish. When we got back to the dock and were heading to the car, my boys were like "Dad, how soon can we come back and fish with him again?". I would definitely recommend Capt. Peter and FlylightCharters to anyone, especially if you have kids. A much better experience than the crowded party boats, much more fun, and a very, very reasonable price!

My trip was amazing. I have to say hands-down. This was the best fishing charter in Connecticut…read more I've been on all of them and this one was a great experience. I caught fish!!! The staff was extremely helpful on catching fish. If your technique is wrong, they will help you with your technique so you can be successful on the charter.

If you wake up the next day and your left arm or right arm is sore that means it was a very successful trip.

We fished two full days and to say the fishing was good would be an understatement. We had two completely different days weather wise. Thursday was cloudy and cool and Friday was clear and warm. Thursday was better from a numbers standpoint, We caught about 15 striper with 8-10 of those being 30 lbs plus - big fish was 42 lbs. We also caught 10 -12 nice blue fish. Friday was the tougher of the two days because of the sun and number of boats in the area but we still had six nice striper and another 10-12 really nice blue fish. Our five biggest striper weighed 179 pounds (31-34-34-38 and another 42 pounder)! The "dink" was still a 10 pounder. On Friday we were within a hundred yards of several boats and they got to watch us catch fish while we watched them catch notta! I can honestly say that when we had baits in the water Jay had us on fish. There were many times when Justin couldn't get the second line out before there was a fish on the first line and we doubled up several times each day. About the boat - it is very clean, plenty comfortable and ran like a top. You could relax inside out of the rain Thursday and it was nice to be able to get out of the sun on Friday while going to and from the fishing grounds. Having a restroom on board during a 10 hour trip was a must. Jay really knows his stuff and Justin was by far the hardest working First Mate I have fished with. We are hooked (pun intended) and will definitely be back to fish with them next year. Book with confidence and opt for the 10 hour trip to give yourself as much time in the chair as possible!

Once we got out to the middle of the sound, it was NON STOP. There were four of us, and we must have reeled in at least 20 bluefish each. Didn't get any stripers, they are pretty outnumbered. The captain and mate do most of the work, all you really have to do is reel the fish in. I think you can take turns driving or preparing bait if you want. $550 for a half day (5 hours or so). Four of us was perfect. Bring beer, snacks, etc! Boat was great too, good condition, and the captain and mate know there stuff. Highly recommended!

Last week a family member and I brought our kids (3 10-year olds and a 13 year old) on a 5 hour trip and we caught over 25 stripers (5 keepers, a lot over slot), our kids were completely exhausted by hour 4 and most had passed out in the cabin. The first mates we've had have always been fantastic, but on this trip Jessica was next-level. She was amazing with the kids, knew what she was doing and was unbelievably personable. From booking the the trip with Admiral Amy, to talking with Captain Kevin and working with the first mate, every part of interacting with Reelin Sportfishing Charters is a pleasure. There's a reason that I keep coming back. Keep in mind that this is fishing and some times the fish are finicky, but Kevin has always managed to put us on the fish! You can't go wrong with Reelin.
