My girlfriend and I had an amazing time on the water. We caught quite a few fish each and quality fish too. Captain Bill was a great guide and conversationalist. Will definitely book with him again if I'm back in this area again.
Thanks for coming out on the Fishbone and having a blast. Hope to see you again!
I was visiting NYC and as an avid fisherman I decided to book a charter with bill and what an amazing experience it was. Scenic views, banter and lots of fun! I would very highly recommend bill to any fishermen in NYC. Boat has plenty of room and the gear speaks for itself! Thank you Bill!
Such an amazing time AJ! From the cast net to the windmills. Hope to have you on board next year, stay safe and thank you for fishing with Fiahbone.
Had a great time catching some good fish! Thanks Captian Bill!

I caught so many fish that my wrists started to hurt.
Haha! So glad you and your Dad came out. Hit me up next time you guys ate in town!
