These waters are known for Striped Bass and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! You can expect to bottom fish using light tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.

Customers are encouraged to bring snacks!

The boat is a 36' Henriques sportfishing vessel with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 15~20% tip is customary.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

A few items to bring include sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.

Your trip with Lil Bingo Fishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Will only fish with captain James

Half Day Trip – Afternoon on November 22, 2025 • 2 adults • 3 children

I can’t express how amazing this trio was. I brought all my kids with me—ages 7 to 17—and every single one of them had an incredible time. There was a heated cabin where we could take breaks, and the bathroom was honestly the biggest I’ve ever seen on a boat.

The crew was outstanding—super friendly, funny, and incredibly informative. I learned more about fishing in four hours than I ever have before. They were amazing with the little kids, great with the teens, and just as awesome with the adults.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to go back. I honestly will only ever charter with this crew again.  10/10

One of the Best trips !

6 Hour Trip (Morning) on May 31, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

It was our first trip with Capt. James on Lil Bingo, but definitely not the last. We had so much fun, caught a few fishes ( even one shark, dogfish). Captain and his Mate were very helpful to us, but especially to my brother's 7yo grandson. It was his first ever fishing trip and he loved it! We even stayed more time fishing than we paid for, just so we can catch more fish :)

My 1st chartered fishing trip!

Half Day Trip – Morning on August 31, 2025 • 6 adults

Captain Jim and Lil Bingo! What a great combination! Booked my 1st fishing charter and am SO glad I connected with Captain Jim and his boat Lil Bingo! We had a fantastic time catching a wide variety of "bottom feeders" Skup, Sea Bass, Flounder...and more. Also snag an eel that was immediately put back where it belonged. Captain Jim made this morning out in the water everything I hoped for and more! Great memories! To anyone looking for a fishing charter...get in touch with Lil Bingo!

Amazing day on the water

Half Day Trip – Morning on August 9, 2025 • 6 adults

We have been doing a fishing trip every year with a bunch of colleagues- this year we chose. Captain Jack and his crew. What an amazing day - we gave up catching fish after about 75 of them - our arms were tired . The captain and Jack and assistant James were amazing - would recommend him any day - hope to take the grand kids with him as soon as possible.
Well done Captain - please send us the pictures when you get a chance.

Doesn’t get much better

Half Day Trip – Morning on August 6, 2025 • 2 adults

Our captain arrived exactly on time and welcomed us aboard. After a quick review of the boat and where things were located, we are off to fishing. We caught fish within the first three minutes of putting our our lines in the water. When fishing slowed down at this location, we moved to another one and continue to catch fish on a regular basis. My family had an excellent time and enjoyed themselves very much and we appreciated everything the captain and his mate did for us that day
