This was my second trip on Fish Tales. For the second time, we had an incredible experience that we’ll never forget. 

Capt. Joe D’Orsi and his mate Arty are top notch!! I’ve fished a bunch of different charters around the world and Fish Tales is one of the best boats by far.

Just as he did last trip, Joe put us on some MONSTERS today! . We hooked about a dozen fish during our 5 hours of fishing, Joe is very knowledgeable. He’s strategic in his fishing tactics and literally does everything he can to put his customers on fish. Arty is very attentive, proactive and dedicated to supporting whoever they have on their boat. We will definitely be on this boat again to reel in more monsters with Joe and his crew!

A great experience all around.  Captain Jim was very responsive by e-mail and text prior to the trip, answering questions and providing confirmations and clear directions.  The boat and fishing equipment were in great shape, and the boat was very roomy for our party of six.  Captain Jim and the “first mate” (I think his name was Artie) were at the dock ahead of time, and had already caught and prepared all of the bait (pogies) by the time we arrived.  Both were very friendly and informative, and patient with the less-experienced anglers in our group.  Price of the trip was very reasonable.  They kept us on fish all morning.  Will definitely call Captain Jim / Boston Fish Tales next time I’m in Boston.

First of all, WOW! Captain Joe is very passionate about fishing and it shows in the quality of fishing for Stripped Bass. I have fished out of Venice, LA, Cabo, Galveston, Miami,Florida, and have not had a start to finish great experience like this. He not only got us hooked up, he also took the time to teach my siblings how to free line and fish with different techniques their first times successfully.
He has been fishing 50+ years and knows a lot about Boston and fishing. I enjoyed learning from him as well as catching over 20 Bass. We kept 5 he filleted quickly.he’s deckhand Jon was a great guy with great knowledge and super helpful throughout.  I can honestly say I will be back for another experience with him. He’s a great human being and one hell of a Captain.
