If you are looking for a relaxing day of fishing, lovely scenery, and lots of fun - then hop aboard 'The Green Eyed Lady' with Captain Mike Smith Fishing Adventures. Fishing has been a part of Capt. Mike's life for as long as he can remember. It started as a hobby, then a summer job during school days, and a retirement job. Over the years a lot of things have changed, but his passion for fishing never did.

Explore the waters of Niantic Bay and Long Island Sound on a 23' Parker boat that accommodates up to 3 guests. This new center console was built in 2019 and features the latest navigational electronics. She also comes with a 200 HP Yamaha engine and a live bait tank. With the safe and steady ride she provides, you'll be on your fishing spot in no time.

There's lots of different species you can catch here, but you're most likely to catch Striped Bass, Bluefish, Blackfish, Porgy, Fluke, Bonito, and False Albacore. Your targets depend on the fishing techniques you use and vice versa, so you can try out trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, and drift fishing.

Captain Mike loves to teach the kids how to fish and he has a special program just for them. Get in touch to discuss the details and let the captain prepare the right equipment.

Rods, reels, terminal tackle, and bait are all included in the price. The captain also covers your fishing license, supplies bottled water, and cleans your catch after the trip. You only need to pack some snacks and snap awesome photos.

Captain Mike Smith Fishing Adventures loves to spread the knowledge and love for fishing. Hop aboard!

    Caught Moby Dick & Giuseppe!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 2, 2026 • 3 adults

    We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Mike and took lots of pictures to remember this adventure! My grandson requested to catch striped bass and Captain Mike didnt disappoint him. Communication was top notch and we had all the information we needed leading up to the day of the trip including parking, boat slip and contact number. As we write this review, we are dining on the yummy striped bass we got to take home. We would highly recommend taking this 3 hr. tour with Captain Mike!

    Captain Mike is Wonderful!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    Had a great morning out on the water with Captain Mike! A very fun experience to share with my boyfriend. Captain Mike made sure we were fully equipped for a successful fishing trip and he tirelessly jumped between us both to ensure we had bait/ catching fish and travelling to the spots biting! Also a great camera man! Weather and tides were a bit rocky and this day we really only caught some porgi, but still, the experience was 10/10. Thanks Captain Mike!

    Captain Mike is amazing!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 28, 2024 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Mike chartered myself and two boys (8&6) for a fun filled morning on the sound. The conditions were perfect (except an unusual amount of dragon flies). We caught fish on our first line in, and continued catching all morning. My youngest who doesn’t like the rocking of the boat started to not have a good time. Captain Mike picked up on this immediately and changed the scenery to ensure everyone had fun. My kids wanted to give captain Mike 10 out of 5 stars, we ended the day by catching a week fish, I’ve never heard of it, captain Mike say they are pretty rare to catch. Overall a great experience captain Mile was energetic, kept my kids included and engaged with the entire process. Would recommend to anyone, and we will be back next year

    Could not have been better

    3 Hour Trip (PM) on July 18, 2024 • 2 adults

    My wife and I took our 10 y/o grandsons out for an afternoon trip. Capt Mike was quick with communication and agreed to push the trip back an hour to accommodate our plans with the boys. Capt Mike and his 1st mate, Derrel, were the best duo we could ask for. They welcomed the boys and genuinely cared about them enjoying themselves and learning about the boat, the fishing gear, and the fish. And, WOW, were there fish!? We didn’t count, but I would guess we caught 50 fish in total. Including, Porgi, black sea bass, sea robins, and sharks. We all loved the experience and plan to fish with them again next year. Thank you Capt Mike & Derrel for a wonderful and productive afternoon! Daryl, Kim, Mack & Zane

    Super fantastic time!!!!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 19, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Mike runs a first class trip. I wanted to give my two grandsons, ages 13 and 18, a really great time with wonderful memories and Captain Mike made it happen. He is great with the kids. He teaches but he doesn't micromanage. He is so positive. He is also extremely knowable about all the necessary pieces to make a fantastic trip. We caught so many fish! We will do this again!

    Great time with my kids!!!!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 18, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Went on a fishing trip last week with my two boys 14 and 9. Captain Mike and his First Mate Derryl were awesome! They were so patient and loved sharing their expertise not only about fishing but about the surrounding geography and history of the area. We caught over 30 fish! Even were able to bring some home for fish tacos! As we parted ways, Mike asked us to leave a review (which I was going to do anyways), and my 9 year old immediately said "that was 5 stars Dad!" and my 14 year old said "yeah, definitely 5 stars!"

Captain Mike grew up on the North Shore of Long Island where he learned to fish, clam, and oyster as a youngster. During the summer of his High School and College years, he would work on the oyster and clam boats in Oyster Bay Harbor. After college Mike started what would be a 40-year career at United Parcel Service as a Manager. After Mike retired in 2019, his kids said to him ' Dad, you're going to need a bigger boat '.... and so it didn't take long for Captain Mike to start his second career as a Fishing Charter Captain. Hop Aboard the 'Green Eye'd Lady' and let's catch some fish!

    Capt. Mike took our two family members fishing who were visiting Niantic from St. Louis. The day turned out to be very windy and Capt. Mike tried his best to make the trip fun and enjoyable but the weather didn't cooperate. The guys caught a few fish and had a good time. Next time, hopefully they will have better weather!
