JMPNMAKO Sport Fish Charters

Make some memories in Bay Shore and go fishing with JMPNMAKO Sport Fish Charters. Captain Gary will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from years of local experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Cobia, Bluefin Tuna, Black Seabass, Cod, Swordfish, Striped Bass, Bluefish, Flounder, Thresher Shark, Yellowfin Tuna, Tautog, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), and plenty more.

During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Feel free to keep any fish you catch within the legal limit.  so you can take your fish home without any hassle. ( there is a extra charge to cut tuna $40 per fish ) Enjoy it later that day or pack it away for months down the line.

Your excursion begins aboard a 28’ Pilothouse that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with outriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water.

Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it ahead of time so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. It’s customary to tip the Mate 20% at the end of the day to show your appreciation.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that you may have to release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Pick up/ drop off is available on fire island from ocean bay park- kismet

JMPNMAKO Sport Fish Charters is a kid-friendly charter service, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks – lucky for you, there will already be some on board!

You can’t go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Capt. Gary will have some drinks available for you.
