If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Steal Your Fish Charters.

These waters are known for Bluefish, Striped Bass, Tautog, Flounder, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! On the day of your trip, you're likely to bottom or top water fish using light tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome, but need to be ages 10 and okder. 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 grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your boat for the day is a 28' Boston Whaler center console with a capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% to show your appreciation.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is not allowed.

Fishing license included!

Outstanding Day
Half Day Trip 4 Hour on June 27, 20264 adults

Captain Jeff and his son Matt were fantastic with 3 -14yr olds and in myself (Grandma)they related well with the boys teaching them how to fish for stripe bass at the bottom. Always available for baiting, instruction, untangling lines, and answering questions. Hands on whenever needed yet let the boys do thier thing. Caught stripers, porgie’s and black sea bass. Fantastic time had by all. Highly reccommend Steal your fish Charter. Christmas Present idea!!

A Perfect Day on the Water with Captain Jeff!
Half Day Trip 4 Hour on June 21, 20252 adults

Absolutely! Here's a glowing and positive review you can use for your fishing day trip with Captain Jeff: I can’t say enough good things about our recent striped bass fishing trip with Captain Jeff out of New London. From start to finish, it was a top-notch experience. Jeff is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but he’s also a genuinely great guy, easygoing, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. We headed out into the Sound and were on the fish in no time. Jeff knew exactly where to go, and thanks to his expert guidance, we were hauling in beautiful striped bass throughout the day. He was always ready with helpful tips, encouragement, and a great sense of humor, which made the whole trip fun and relaxed. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, and Jeff made sure we had everything we needed. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, you'll feel right at home aboard his boat. Highly recommend; Can’t wait to go out again!

I’m so glad you and your daughter had a great time! Thanks so much for booking your charter with us! You will have to let me how the striper fillets turn out on the old school grill!

Steal Your Fish Charters was perfect!
Half Day Trip 4 Hour on July 20, 20252 adults

First of all, everything ran smoothly from initial booking to trip confirmation through catching some good fish. Captain, Jeff, and First Mate Max were on top of everything. Rod’s gear. Everything was ready. We spent every minute casting, and we caught a few monsters first mate max expertly filleted the fish for us, and Captain and Jeff made sure that we were always in the right spot at the right time. I highly recommend Steal Your Fish Charters.

Awesome trip with the boys
Half Day Trip 4 Hour on June 8, 20242 adults2 children

Happy to report Jeff and his mate provided two amateur dads and our boys with a great fishing experience. The boat was pristine and Jeff and his son were very friendly and down to earth. They were flexible, attentive and made every effort to provide the best equipment and advice to help our boys get a solid haul. Got strippers, bluefish and bass. Jeff knows what he’s doing and took us to the best spots. His son is an expert with rigs and filleting and connected with our boys. We always had a rod ready and a helping hand when needed. We had a class A experience in their capable hands, and will do it again. Highly recommended.

Attentive, Professional & Knowledgeable Captain & Mate
Half Day Trip 4 Hour on July 7, 20244 adults

Had a great day with Capt Jeff and his Mate Max. Navigated safely through heavy fog and felt safe all day. Boat well equipped with all necessary gear to find the fish. Catch was cleanly filleted for us and packaged so we had "sea to table" within 12 hours. So tasty. Capt Jeff and max, thanks for a great experience at the Race and for sharing some tricks of the trade with me and my two sons. I highly recommended Steal Your Fish Charters with Capt Jeff.
