The Flaherty Charter crew uses only the most reliable tackle to suit the fish size, sea conditions and the preferences of our clients. We will always try to utilize light tackle for big bass and blues. We therefore employ a variety of rods including the St. Croix line of graphite rods and usually Penn 704Z or lighter spinning gear with 10 to 15 pound test line.

Straight from our happy clients....

Capt Tim - just wanted to send you, Brendan and Diane a quick thanks so much - Jimmy is still showing his pics and is wearing his shirt (the one you gave him - saying "yeah. There's still a drop of blood from the bluefish I caught" ) . He described fishing trip to friends yesterday as "one of the coolest 5 things I have ever done!" - and realize you are in company with

-          a trip he won by raising most $$ fundraising scholarships for a hoops camp he was attending - where he got to travel with the Denver Nuggets pro hoops team to an away game, team plane, team bus, team hotel... etc

-          a trip where he drove on an underwater sea scooter (only 200 in world) off St Thomas, looking at seaturtles, fish etc in Caribbean

-          his first trip to Carolinas where he went boogieboarding for first time - conquering his earlier fear of the water. He LOVS boogieboarding now....

 He gave you the ultimate compliment, saying you were probably as nice as his uncle Pete (the brother-in-law married to my sister Chick, who you have also chartered) - his favorite family member and one of his best friends.

Seriously, thanks for the trip of a lifetime - and feel free to use any part of this as a testimonial if you ever need one. We can't wait to come back sometime soon and get out on the water with "Captain Tim" again!!!

Best,

Jim Gillies

Captain Tim, I just wanted to say thanks again for the great time we had today (Tuesday, July 7th) on your fishing boat.  My daughter, her boyfriend and myself really enjoyed you and your first mate Fred's efforts to insure that we had a good fishing day.  With seven bass, a flounder and twenty or more scups we caught plenty of fish.  I also enjoyed your enthusiasm, knowledge and stories of the area.  We all felt like you guys actually wanted to be there with us and that we were not just "customers". I would definitely recommend your charter boat to anyone looking to have a good time and catch fish.  Hopefully we can get back later this year.
 
Sincerely,
 
Bob Singleton Niskayuna, NY  518-221-5377

Just a short note to thank you and Chris for the great experience on Thursday, July 17, 2003. We all agree that our short time fishing with you was the highlight of our trip to Newport.My wife and I were particularly impressed by the way that you made our children feel not only comfortable, but WELCOME.You guys are the best. By the way, I dropped off your brochures at the Ho Jo as promised, and advised them that they would be doing their guests a favour by displaying them. I am pleased to advise you that on checking out on Friday, your brochures were prominently displayed. Thanks for the memories Tim.

Kevin Hope and Family
