Excited to go fishing? Look no further than Here Fishy Fishy Charters! Having logged more than 40 years of fishing with many years on these tides, Captain Craig can put you on the fish. He uses various methods depending on the species you are out for. Capt. Craig has fishing gear for you, as well as lures and bait. Fishermen feel free to bring your own gear as we know some people have their own lucky rods or lures.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Flounder, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Drummer / Rock Blackfish, Tautog, Bluefin Tuna, Striped Bass, Black Seabass, Yellowfin Tuna, Bluefish, Lingcod, Black Rockfish, Scup (Porgy), and who knows what else!

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard, we enjoy getting new fishermen into the sport. We have adult and some child sized life vests as well as a liferaft for your safety.

Capt. Craig runs a 32' Ocean Sportfish that holds up to 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a climate controlled cabin as well as bathroom on board for your comfort.

It's recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, snacks or food, and drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but No hard liquor or glass bottles on the boat. If you may get seasick please bring motion sickness medicine. We don't want you to be sick out on the seas.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on the fish and assist with your technique if needed. A 20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work, as they work for tips.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them or return them to catch another day. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

    Fluke / Seabass / Bottom Fishing on August 23, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

    Captain Craig and his First Mate Robert made this trip enjoyable from start to finish! We have been out a few times with different charters and never had such a personable captain and crew who made us feel like old friends and were great at entertaining the kids as well. Catching fluke, black bass, dogfish and rays was just an extra bonus on top of a great day out on the water!

    Great fishing trip!

    Evening Trip in the Bay on July 26, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    We had a great fishing trip with Captain Craig and first mate Rob! The boat was very comfortable with the interior cabin and bathroom. The fishing rods were great quality and we appreciate them explaining the ins/outs of fishing since we were beginners. We did not catch any flounder but we did catch a bunch of dogfish sharks and my kids had a great time. Thank you Captain Craig and first mate Rob for your hospitality and looking forward to future trips!

    Half Day Morning in the bay on May 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Kids had a lot of fun trying for fluke and flounder, unfortunately the weather and fish weren't on our side as we didn't catch anything. Had a good time seeing New York city and boat ride.
