New London has a fish with your name on it, so let Melissa Ann Fishing Charters help you catch it!

These waters are home to Striped Bass, Bluefish, Scup (Porgy), Black Seabass, Flounder, Tautog, Thresher Shark, Bluefin Tuna, and more with any luck.

For these species, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Capt. Luke runs a 31' custom sport fish that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Capt. Luke will supply rods and reels for you.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% minimum to show your appreciation.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't leave home without a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Bring a cooler but leave it at the dock to bring your catch home!

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Bring your lunch take home your dinner! So make it happen, with Melissa Ann Fishing Charters!
