Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Striped Bass, Bluefish, Weakfish, Scup (Porgy), Little Tunny (False Albacore), Flounder, and whatever else is biting. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt.

Children are welcome, 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 to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

I’m not from around the area but travel down for work frequently. I always wanted to do some fishing after work and Captain Rick offers the after work special which worked perfectly for me. On my way he gave me a call and told me where to park which was very helpful. In a few short minutes we were out in the sound doing some fishing. He’s knows a lot about fishing and the area and hes great company as well. We were targeting stripers and we got a few bites, some were missed by my own user error but we got one in the boat. The rest werent cooperating much but we kept at it. Overall, I had a great night on the sound and can’t wait to go again.
Captain Richard was friendly and motivated. He worked hard to find the fish. Fun time had by all. We will be back again.
The charter operator canceled on trip date. This is an automated posting.
