Just off the coast of Long Island lies Fire Island, a thin line separating Long Island from the Atlantic Ocean. Fire Island’s location is perfectly suited to offer anglers varied fishing, something Fire Island Fishing Charters capitalizes on!
Climb aboard their 24’ enter console manufactured by Robalo. She’s built for inshore and coastal fishing, providing a first-class ride. She can handle up to 4 anglers fishing at the same time in comfort, without tangling lines or bumping elbows. Powered by a 300 HP Yamaha outboard engine, she can cruise at a maximum speed of 35 knots.
You’ll target a variety of gorgeous fish with Captain Steve Smith. The famous Striped Bass is a major target, but you can also go for Flounders, False Albacores, Porgies, Black Seabass, and Weakfish, along with other species you may run into. You can try a variety of fishing techniques with the equipment provided, however, you will have to supply your own fly rods or bows for bowfishing.
The charter will provide you with quality rods and reels, with lures being available for rent. Live bait is included in the price and usually prepared before you arrive, although you can fish for it too if you want.
If you’re looking for some adrenaline-pumping action, the charter specializes in a “run and gun” style of fishing, targeting seasonal fish as far as away as Jones Beach. Join them and see just how hot the bite can get around Fire Island!

No two trips can be identical because of the many factors that go into each charter. That said, Captain Steve is your one constant. If you are looking for someone who is committed to your experience, look no farther. He was communicative in the days and hours before our 1/2 day charter. He told us what to do once we were on the boat. He told us why we were moving spots. Everything, My family and I had a blast. And we only caught 2 fish! But it wasn’t from a lack of his efforts. If I want to fish again off Long Island again, this is my first call.

Capt Steve was a pure delight! With a backdrop of the rising sun and Blue Moon as we jetted across the bay to the oceans edge, in a beautiful boat, Capt Steve's knowledge and experience of the Great South Bay was enjoyable, fun, and entertaining. A great day of fishing with Blowfish tails for a great fish fry for the Labor Day weekend. Oh yes, not to mention the little white shark (no teeth) that was something new for my daughter and me. Perfect day, perfect weather, and a really perfect fishing trip with Capt Steve. See you in November Captain!!! Julie and Jasmine

Though the fishing was disappointing we still had a blast. Steve tried hard to find the fish (we caught and released a crab, 3 sea robins, a 14" fluke and saw a stingray) but the winds were high and the bay churned up so not much action. But we had glorious weather, Steve was very knowledgeable and we had great conversations. Hope to go again in September when the fishing conditions are better.
