Massapequa has a fish with your name on it, so let Shut Up & Fish LI help you catch it! Captain Steve has over 25 years of experience fishing the waters off the south shore of Long Island.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Striped Bass, Cod, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Flounder, Bigeye Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Seabass, and who knows what else! On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You’ll be casting lines from Wade Awhile, a 36’ Cape Horn center console powered by 3 Yamaha 300hp engines with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials. There’s a head onboard for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Shut Up & Fish LI.

Captain Steve was seriously the best and made this trip so much more memorable and fun! He is the sweetest and shares the best stories, but also he is so knowledgeable and shares the best advice about fishing! He really tried his very best to meet every need on board and really made sure to put us in a spot where we would catch something. The boat was also beautiful; felt super comfortable on board! We will choose Captain Steve every time we want to go fishing.

We had a great day in the bay today with captain Steve. He kept us on fish all day even though the weather was not the best. My crew had a blast having hit after hit. Thank you again for working with the younger guys on the trip they definitely learned a lot from you on our trip. Looking forward to our next trip.

Great captain and boat

The Captain and first mate were both great. The weather, ocean and scenery were amazing. Fishing was very slow, for all boats according to the radio. The Captain tried his best to get us them. Would highly recommend these charter to everyone.
