3 adults and 3 kids on our trip. Everything was perfect. Captain Ted was wonderful with the kids. And he definitely knows where the fish are biting. We all had a blast and will be returning.

Really an outstanding day - Ted’s mastery of the local waters, sites and area history shines as bright as the Stripers in full Sun! We’ll be back next year for more.

This was a fantastic experience (only one star off because we don’t catch any fish big enough to take home and eat, NOT the captain’s fault…) and I would recommend Capt. Ted to anyone.  He was very kind to us rank beginners but knows anything and everything about fishing (and history, btw) on the North Shore and I think would be a fantastic guide for even very experienced fishers. Boat was clean and functional and he taught us well (two teen boys and two adults who had mostly never fished at all before).  High recommendations.

Drawn by the positive reviews we went with Captain Ted on the ‘Reel Thrills Too’ for a partially customized 3/4 day adventure. We combined cruising along the Cape Ann coastline with fishing for Stripers - We stopped at numerous locations where fish had been hitting. We relaxed, fished, talked history (Captain Ted is a big history buff and knows all the Cape Ann history) and then cruised into Rockport Harbor where we were let off to have lunch (Roy Moore’s Fish Shack - great chowder, huge lobster rolls) and then back out for more fishing. While the fish just weren’t striking, we each managed to catch 1-2 Striped Bass not quite to the 28” minimum but great fun. This was a very enjoyable day on the water - boat is fast and comfortable with easy room for 4-6 guests. Captain Ted is the ultimate fishing guide, historian and conversationalist. We will be back!!

What an excellent experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Agawam Boat & Fishing Charters. Captain Ted has lived in the North Shore his whole life and is
incredibly knowledgeable on local history. We got not only a great day on the water but a little history lesson too. Our two little girls came along and he was excellent to them - the girls were thrilled with the coloring books he gave them and loved looking at and touching the live mackerel in the reserve tank on board. He brought us to a few different locations and were able to catch a few but no keepers. Captain Ted even pulled a few lobster traps for us in hopes to let us take home something but it just wasn’t our day.  We all had a great experience and will definitely be back next summer.
