Great Time
6 Hour Trip - Stripped Bass on May 16, 20264 adults

Despite it being a slow day, it was still a great time. We managed to secure a slot striper, and the Captain did his best to try to get some more fish for us.

George was so fun and literally did everything so that we could catch some fish! It was my brother’s birthday and we booked this as a gift for him and he absolutely loved it. Would do it again!!

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!
