fishing with DaFishHunterCharters. With Captain Vegeto at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands. Captian Vegeto has the 2nd largest striped bass landed in the state of NY Hudson River. This fish weighed in at 58.60lbs just shy of the NY state record.

These waters are known for MULTIPLE SPEICES OF FISH with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks!

You'll step aboard a 23' Commercial Grade Haul Sea OX walkaround cuddy cabin with room for 4 passengers but up to 6. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. All bait and tackle is included. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your Captain will provide rods and reels along with lures.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them.

Don't leave home without sunscreen, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed aboard however if abused the Captain has the right to bring you back to port on his discretion without a refund.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with DaFishHunterCharters!

Fun trip!
Evening Fishing Trip on August 24, 2026 • 3 adults

It was the most perfect evening on the Hudson River and Captain Nick and Tiffany were wonderful hosts. Both were very knowledgeable about fishing on the river. They were fun and brought a big comfortable chair for my husband which was one of our needs on the trip. We caught lots of catfish; some that were HUGE! We would definitely do another trip with them.

Nick & Tiffany Did A Great Job!
Afternoon Fishing Trip on May 10, 2026 • 2 adults

DaFishHunter Charter did not disappoint! Captain Nick and his First Mate Tiffany knew where the big stripe bass were and how to catch them. Our family had a great time! This trip is best for people who want to catch fish. Early spring temperatures on the Hudson River are chilly - dress warmly.

Reported catch:
Striped Bass

    We had a fantastic day fishing with Nick! We are visiting family from California and my son wanted to try fishing in the area. Nick did a great job showing my son good fishing spots and had a successful fishing trip. He was thrilled with catching cat fish and perch, both new for him. Nick was also great in teaching my nephews who haven’t fished before and both are now in love with fishing. Thanks again for a fun day and look forward to coming back again!
