Excited to go fishing in Saugerties? Make it happen, with JC Charters! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain John can tell you all about them.

Striped Bass, Bluefish, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Flounder, Herring, Black Sea Bass, Thresher Shark, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year.

You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Children are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are also a good idea to keep their stamina going!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 35' Sportfishing that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Capt. John has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring 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.
