My family, including our two teenage boys, had a wonderful time fishing with Captain Mike and his very helpful grandson. Mike was friendly and professional, playing dual roles as teacher and entertainer as he showed us the ropes and offered insightful tips related to finding the best fishing spots. We caught so many stripers that we eventually stopped counting. We also snagged two bluefish, and Mike carefully handled those to show us their razor sharp little teeth. Our overall experience in Chatham was absolutely lovely, but our 4 hours spent on the Magic was the highlight of the week.

Captain Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. Coordinating our charter trip was easy, as he was very responsive in all his communication. Out on the water, though, is where his experience and expertise really paid off. He said he could smell where the fish were, and I know that sounds like a tall tale, but once he told us to drop our lines we were pulling in some very nice striped bass within about a minute. We decided to keep four of the first ones, but we continued to catch and release some impressive fish for the rest of the trip. On the way in he filleted them for us. We were grilling bass for the whole family that same evening.
If you’re looking to go out on the water for some great fishing in the Chatham, MA area you absolutely need to call Captain Mike at Magic Fishing Charters. He’s worth every penny!

Ive been fishing with Mike and Magic Charters for over 15 years and let me tell you, this will ruin charter fishing for you. Not only will you catch fish non-stop for the entire trip, Mike will teach you the proper techniques and provide the know-how to make even the most beginner fisherman feel like a pro by the end of the day. Mike knows the area better than anyone else and it shows, he is the guy that the other commercial fisherman call over the radio (and they will) to find the fish. I took my mother and my wife who have never been fishing on the ocean before and they had a total blast!
Mike taught them the perfect technique to reel these big striped bass in and by the end of the day they both were landing fish like pro's and had giant smiles permanently attached! Look, Mike is that fisherman you read about in books, the fish practically jump into his boat (not kidding a few almost did without even being hooked) he is salty, knowledgeable and a blast to spend the day with. I couldnt recommend him and Magic Charters more. The absolute highlight of my year is taking a charter with him and I know its a memory my family will talk about forever.

We've done fishing charters out of Chatham for decades. This was BY FAR the BEST trip we've been on!!! Captain Mike knows his stuff! If you want to catch fish...REAL FISH, you need to go out on his boat, MAGIC! Captain Mike was extremely knowledgable about where to go and how to fish. We had so much fun and will definitely be going out with him again!

Amazing trip catching striped bass on fly rod. All three of us catching 10 plus fish on the fly up to 30 pound range. Lost the biggest fish of the day to a great white shark right at the back of the boat while getting ready to boat fish. Capt mike puts us on fish every time. If your goal is catching fish and having a great time go with magic charters. I drive to Chatham from Rhode Island to fish with mike several times a year and expectations are exceeded every time

Went out on a four hour trip with my two sons (9 and 10) and my father-in-law. Mike put us on well over a hundred fish and kept us entertained on the way out and back with great stories. We all had an awesome time. We'll definitely be back.

Great charter for newbies where you can catch fish and get lots of action. No dead times or long distances to cover to get on the fish. We caught 15-20 striped bass each (3 guys) in 4 hours and were more limited by our stamina than the supply of fish....and the boats around us were catching nothing.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.

Capt Mike is simply a pro. Very knowledgeable and skilled on the water. Put us on fish early and often. Caught more Stripers than we could count.
