Bluefin Tuna Charters
September and October
A Challenge for true anglers
Looking to get out in the deep ocean and catch some massive bluefin tuna? During the fall we host tours to do just that. A much longer tour than our other options, we’ll be going out around 50 miles from shore to get to where entire schools of tuna hang out. Put your angler skills to the test – bluefin are very hard to catch. It’s been cited that it takes on average, two and a half hours to land a single tuna. They are quite smart, and are picky with hook size and bait quality. As such, we advise this trip only to those advanced anglers who are ready to take on a challenge.
A day full of fishing
While on the hunt for a monster tuna, expect to see and catch some other species such as Cod, Mackerel, Flounder or Squid, among others. We’re not afraid to use them as bait for our real target. It’s up to you if you’d like to keep anything you catch as long as it’s legal size. Throughout the journey you’ll also get a look at the Revolutionary War forts throughout Casco Bay, some of the lighthouses in the area, as well as plenty of wildlife, ranging from seals and porpoise, to whales and even sharks.
Pricing
*Bluefin Trips are max of 4 people call for pricing.

Whether it’s their first time or the fiftieth, bring the kids along to enjoy the amazing sport of ocean fishing with this fun, affordable, safe, and surely memorable fishing trip on the Casco Bay!

Captain Jamie and his First Mate, Cooper were top notch! We had a great family fishing trip where all 5 of us, including our 15, 13, and even our 8 yo all pulled in their own fish. Would def recommend! Thanks for the memorable experience!

This was an exceptional experience! Jamie was not only a wonderful captain guiding us to catching striper, but was also a wonderful host. We caught great fish and had great conversation. If we’re ever back in Portland another trip with Reel Action is at the top of our list!

Captain Jamie certainly knows how to find fish! He was so knowledgeable about the tides, and where the fish like to feed. I am sure his expertise helped us catch fish. Cooper, the first mate made it super easy, by baiting the hook and casting for us.We packed a lot in our 2 hour trip. Definitely a repeat activity. But next time 4 hours is a must, the time went by too fast. Thanks for the fun day and great memories!

Captain Jamie was awesome, he knew the hot spots to fish based on the tide, was excited to get us onto the stripers and provided excellent guidance. First mate Cooper was patient, experienced and always in just the right spots! The boat was beautiful, spotless and very comfortable. The cabin even has pillows! 😍 100% recommend you book with Reel Action for an amazing day of fishing.

Family of 6 … 3 kids ages 2, 9, & 12. Jamie and Tim were both great with the kids; teaching them to cast and reel and even steer the boat. Jamie was responsive via phone and text and fit us in last minute. We had a great time!From our 12 yo daughter:Fishing with Jamie and Tim was very fun! The reasons why are because they had different fishing rods and my brothers both caught a lot of fish. After we caught several mackerel, we went fishing for bass and striper which was also a fun experience. The last thing we did was go and look at the harbour seals. This was a very interesting trip worthy of 5 stars.
