Slim Shady Sportfishing Charters

Running angling trips out of Montauk, Slim Shady Sportfishing Charters invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Come on aboard with Capt. George, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, and jigging, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 6 to 12-hour trips, as well as overnighters, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Striped Bass, Seabass, Flounder, Bluefish, Tuna, and Shark, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your adventure begins on board a 38’ Luhrs boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet and an AC unit. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.

After the trip, you’ll share all the spoils with the crew. If you have questions about the specifics, please get in touch with the captain. There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated. This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

Capt. George runs trips out of Montauk aboard a 38’ Luhrs during the summer months. Then after working his way down the east coast he will spend the winter in Fort Myers fishing the Gulf of Mexico. Montauk waters are known for Striped Bass, Sharks, and Tuna, and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing, trolling, or jigging. As an experienced fisherman, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
