D.C. Outdoor Adventures – Hampton Bays 

4.5/5 (3 reviews)
 Bay Avenue 33, East Quogue, NY 11942, United States

D.C. Outdoor Adventures invites you to experience the stunning waters of Hampton Bays. Captain Dennis will be your guide, offering 30 years of local experience.

Enjoy great fishing in Shinnecock Bay for a great variety of fish species available. Striped Bass, Fluke, Bluefish, Porgy, Blackfish, Seabass, Weakfish, and Triggerfish inhabit these waters. There’s also great Shark fishing nearby. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep.

Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Young ones are welcome, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board.

Your day begins aboard a 21’ Duckwater with space for 4 passengers. Capt. Dennis has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time!

It’s never a bad idea to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

If you have any questions about fishing with D.C. Outdoor Adventures, you can send Capt. Dennis a message down below.

Half day 21 center console on July 4, 2025

Me and my girlfriend went out with captain Dennis and had a great time!! We caught some fish and the captain fulfilled our every request. My girlfriend gets seasick pretty easily and captain made sure we fished in calm waters. She didn’t get sick, we both caught fish, and we all had a great time. Will book again. Thanks!

Full Day Trip – Shark (Shared) on August 11, 2023

Sharks were nearby had some bites but just didn't land one. Captain was great and informative even gave us a little extra time to hopefully get one hooked. Seas were rough that day , it just the luck of the draw. But I would go again and looking forward to book for striper sseason.
