Kingston has a fish with your name on it, so let Bigfoot Stripers help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Zachery can tell you all about them.
Striped Bass, White Bass, Catfish, and more are in the cards, depending on when you go. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll using light or heavy tackle. Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
Bigfoot Stripers welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Your boat for the day is a 24' Bay boat with room for 8 pasengers. Capt. Zachery will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now's the time to experience fishing in Kingston for yourself with Bigfoot Stripers!

Zach was very attentive with bait and unhooking fish. There were 5 of us and he hopping from one side of the boat to the other. Zach found us a hot spot for catfish resulting in over 60 fish. He cleaned them for us letting us rest. It was a good morning for fishing.

With all the rain, I think it had the lake slow pertaining to fishing, but Zach did not give up. He consistently was on the phone trying to find the fish from other anglers, trying multiple spots, and he did try. We had fun, we understood fishing is a gamble when the weather was like it was. Zach will definitely get another chance at it with us, because it was not his fault at all. Much appreciated and will see you again!
