We had such a great experience on our 4 hour striped bass trip! Captain Jamie and Aidan were a blast and they knew all of the best spots. Best of all we caught a ton of fish! Will absolutely book again next time we’re in town.

Great experience with Captain Jamie and first mate Aiden with Reel Charters in Portland Maine. These guys knew where the fish were, had great techniques for catching them and were fun to be with on this four hour charter. I would highly recommend using Reel Action Charters if you’re looking for a fun-filled day of fishing in Portland.

This was a great experience. We chose to go out on a rainy cool day and Jamie with first mate Aiden made the entire trip a blast. I'm a novice fisher from Michigan who was just excited to check out the ocean. These fellas ensured that my wife and I made the most of it as we ended up catching about 10 bass among some smaller fish. Highly recommend and will try to book them again the next time I'm in the area.

Captain Jamie and 1st mate Aidan did a great job getting us on the fish. If ever back in Portland we'll be back fishing with real action.

Honestly the name says it all, you’re definitely going to get some reel action. Jamie and Aiden were awesome for our family which consisted of a dad that fishes occasionally, a city mom that last caught a sunfish when she was in 2nd grade and whose current fishing skills include fishing with the Little Tykes fishing pole and plastic fish, and a curious 3 1/2 year old. Jamie was in constant contact via text to ensure that he took us out in the best weather and as we headed down the pier to board our boat, what was a foggy morning transformed into a beautiful sunny day with sunlight glistening off the water. Within 10 minutes of leaving the pier, we were casting our rods and this city mom got the first fish of the day. Dad caught the other two and we were able to keep one which Jamie scaled and cut into nice fillets for us. Jamie was great entertaining our son as Aiden expertly helped maximize our potential to catch fish and give these parents some time to actually fish. Definitely schedule your next trip with these guys! They were awesome and really made our fishing trip the highlight of our Maine vacation. So much that at the end of the day when asked what was his favorite part of the day our son exclaimed “The Boat!”

Jamie and Aiden were amazing and personable. We caught six fish and according to my teenage sons this was 100 out of 10. Best fishing ever.

Captain Jamie is the man. Me and some fellow colleagues went out for a couple hours fishing on his charter and it could not have gone better, aside from all the fish we caught Jamie was an absolute blast and fit right in with the group! I am very much so looking forward to going out with him again!If you want to go out and catch some fish and have a blast, this is the guy.

Captain Jamie provided the best experience! My 5 yo and 2 yo were so excited just to go on a boat on the ocean but then he made sure they had a successful first fishing experience. They cannot stop talking about how much fun they had and asking when we can do it again. Captain Jamie was so professional, patient and personable. My 2 yo does not warm to just anyone but right away he put her at ease. And I must say it was fun for the adults too!! Whether you are local or visiting Maine this is definitely a must do activity!!

Captain Jaimie is a very experienced full time captain. He will put you on fish even under the worst of conditions. This is the guy you want to fish with if you want to catch stripers.

Magnificent day on the water with Captain Jamie and First Mate Aiden! One of the best charters we have experienced. We caught quite a few nice sized stripers today. Captain Jamie and his crew were awesome with our sons. Great boat, great crew, great time! Definitely our go-to charter whenever we are in Maine.

The boys were awesome!!!! We planned a last minute vacation from Colorado to Maine and I started looking for a fishing trip a few days before I left. Captain Jamie contacted me right away and luckily had an opening. He was a great communicator, getting back to me as soon as I had a question. We were greeted with smiles and Jamie and Aiden made the trip so enjoyable. We were able to catch some haddock and really got into the white striped bass. One of the best fishing trips we have had by far. You will not regret booking with these guys. I wouldn't look any further! Would definitely book again. Thanks Jamie and Aiden!

My family and I had an awesome time with Captain Jamie and first mate Aiden! The fish may not have been jumping into the boat but the few we caught were done so with their guidance. Highly recommend and can’t wait for our next trip!

Woke up this morning to learn that the captain of our original charter tested COVID+. I called around and somebody recommended Jamie! And am I glad they did. My boys were really looking forward to fishing and it proved to be the highlight of our trip. Jamie pulled all tricks to make sure the boys caught something while out there. Whenever we’re back in the area, we won’t go with anyone else. It was a blast and the result is two very happy teen boys. How’s that for something you don’t get to say often?! Thanks, Jamie!!

We had such a great time fishing with our kids (7 and 9) on this charter. Captain Jamie knew exactly where to go so that everyone could catch a fish pretty quickly. He was very friendly with our kids and we all had a great time. He also stopped the boat at a scenic spot so we can get a great family picture.Definitely going to recommend him to our family and friends if they are ever in Portland!

We had a great time fishing with Jamie. Unfortunately, the fish weren’t biting today, but Jamie warned us that they didn’t like the heat. Great experience and a nice way to see the beautiful coast. Would highly recommend this excursion.

Captain and crew were awesome! Very knowledgeable, helpful, and just super nice people! We caught good fish and had a great time catching them! Capt. Jamie is willing to move when the fish are biting and knows when to stay and get the most out of a spot. Tremendous day!

Captain Jamie & Aiden are top notch fisherman that offered an amazing time on the water with our family! From catching the bait, to catching beautiful striped bass, the entire 4 hour experience was relaxing, fun and exciting! They knew how to keep the kids engaged, moving to new unique spots for the next catch. Captain Jamie also had awesome suggestions on where we can take the kids during our vaca time here. We cannot wait to jump aboard with these guys again before summer ends and annually with our family!

Captain Jamie surpassed all expectations across the board. His vast knowledge of the coastal Maine waters along with his ability and willingness to adapt to the goals of our group made our experience top notch! We have chartered with Reel Action for both family and friend outings and each experience was full of age appropriate adventure! We can’t wait for more opportunities to hit the waters again with Captain Jamie and Reel Action!

Our fishing adventure with Captain Jamie and Mate Aiden was outstanding! There's nothing like being out on Casco Bay on a hot summer day fishing for stripers. And we found some! These guys know their stuff and would surely recommend them!

We had such an awesome morning with Captain Jamie and Reel Action. Our kids (7 and 5) had never been fishing off a boy before and they had the best experience!! They caught tons of fish and loved every minute. He also made a special point to take us to take a family photo in front of the light house and to show us the seals. Amazing family time in the water.
Becky Baird
14:35 27 Jun 22
Captain Jamie was AWESOME! He took our whole family on a 2 hour family fishing trip and we caught lots of pollock, and then a HUGE bass! It was so much fun and he was a great teacher for the two kids we had with us. He was super friendly and just a lot of fun to be around. He made sure we caught fish and had a great trip. Would definitely recommend booking a trip with him - we can’t wait to book our next trip!

Myself, the hubby, our adult son and 3 of our grand-children, ages 10, 11, and 12 had a great time today aboard the Reel Action with Captain Jaime and Mate Aiden.Captain Jaime met us at the dock right on time and he and Aiden were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They were so welcoming that we felt safe and right at home from the get-go. Jaime told us some of the history of the area as he pointed out places of interest as we motored along to the fishing grounds which were not too far at all.Before we knew it it was time to fish and boy did we ever!The kids caught Mackerel like crazy and then Jaime moved us a little further out and 3 of us caught Strippers!!We highly recommend Reel-Action. We could not have had a better time. I hope we can fish with them again in the future!

Captain Jamie came in clutch for us - we needed a charter for 5 for next day and he made it happen. Me and 4 other buddies from a bachelor party had an awesome time hanging with him and catching mackerel and stripers all morning. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a first class charter experience and 100% will be booking with him again when I’m back in town.

Mike Spiegel
17:36 18 Sep 21
Awesome experience, awesome crew. They genuinely want you to catch as many fish as possible. It pains them when they're not biting.Lucky enough that Captain Jamie kept with it and found us a hot spot where stripers were hooking up for us despite a generally slower day for many other boats.Gave us the perfect amount of guidance and insights and just set a great tone and mood for the trip.Highly recommend, no pun intended, we're hooked. Will absolutely be back.

We had such a great experience here! The guys on the boat were encouraging, fun, and super respectful! There were just two of us on our boat, and both of us are women. We immediately felt comfortable and encouraged and it was a relaxing experience overall. These are totally guys I'd go hang with and have a beer with after it was all said and done. We caught some fish, had a great time, and I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to book a fishing trip.

We had fishing charter today with Reel Action and it was amazing. We took our sons - 5 and 6 and Jamie and Aiden were wonderful with them. They taught my kids about fishing, random facts about Maine, and answered all of their 100000 questions. :). It was about a 40 minute drive from Ogunquit and we’ll worth it. We will definitely do this again next summer since it’s been a highlight of our week here. I cannot recommend Reel Action enough - you won’t regret it and will definitely be a repeat customer.

I've gone twice with Jamie and Ayden and each time these guys have given the best experience. First time was a month ago with a friend that had never fished in his life and we caught striped bass (I think it made him a new recruit to the sport of fishing) and second with my brothers a few days ago, where on a humid day that we should have had trouble getting any action...we still ended up getting 7 striped bass and losing a few as well. I can only say these guys put a lot of effort into your fishing experience and Captain Jamie and Ayden works hard to get you on the fish. Their vibe is fantastic and I'll be honest..after going on many charter fishing boats in the area...I would booking with them from now on....just great guys and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish...I recommend them highly for a great time on the water.

If you’re looking for a fun fishing outing on a lovely boat with experienced fishermen, look no further than Reel Action Charters. Captain Jaime and his crew know Maine waters well, have years of experience under the belts, and they’ll guide you through a beautiful and fun day of catching fish. Captain Jaime is especially kind and patient with kids, and our son and niece were able to reel in mackerel after mackerel. Thank you for a beautiful day, Reel Action!

We took this trip on Short notice. Captain was upfront and honest about expectations. However he exceeded them in every way. Didn’t catch a million fish but wasn’t board at all. Worth every penny. We are a couple from Florida who are on the water all the time. I would suggest taking this for a whole day.

Me and my two teen boys had a great time on Jamie’s boat! He was friendly and informative and got us in just the right places. His mate was so helpful and kept us ready with bait and helped show us what to do. We got some mackerel but the striper was the highlight of it all! We are so glad we got hooked up with them!
