Reel Busy Sport Fishing is based in Montauk NY. They call Montauk the fishing capital of the world do to the abundance and variety of fish that are in the waters at the eastern tip of Long Island. Montauk is also referred to as the fishing Mecca due to the amount of world record and trophy size fish that have been caught in these waters. So If you want to make some great catches possible, fishing in style and comfort with an experienced and knowledgeable captain, this is your charter.
You will go out aboard the 'Reel Busy', a 31ft express Sportfishing boat. Powered by twin 350hp Caterpillar motors that provide an agile and comfortable cruise aboard The 'Reel Busy'. She is fully rigged with the latest navigational electronics and safety equipment and a large cockpit for you and your family or friends
Fishing the Montauk areas and further out into the Atlantic is a rewarding experience that could result in outstanding catches. The trips are from four to twelve hours on the water. The Halfday adventures are for a quick strike to load up the coolers. Ideal opportunity to catch Striped Bass, Seabass, Scup, Bluefish, Fluke, and Blackfish during the open dates of the season. A full day trip allows for more time on the water which gives you chances for bag limits of multiple species. If you are up to a more serious game fish, a full day trip offshore will see you targeting Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi-Mahi Mahi, and Sharks.
Each trip comes with rods and reels by the leading brands, including St. Croix, Diawa, Penn, Shimano, Phenix, Okuma, Whitewater Custom, Lamiglass, Seeker, Accurate, Avet, Owner, Gamagatsu, and Van Stall. The Reel Busy will provide everything that you need for fishing as well as conplimentary water and ice. At the end of your day the crew will prepare your catch for transport. It is suggested that you bring sun screen, sunglasses, an empty cooler, a bagged lunch or snack, proper footware. It is always best to dress in layers.

Fantastic experience. Captain Brian was flexible in planning a shorter charter to accommodate children who couldnt hang for the full 5 hours and was incredible in ensuring we caught plenty of fish. We can’t wait to fish with Captain Brian again!
Jennifer, you guys made it easy. The girls were amazing. Thank you for trusting me with you and your family. I’m sure that your “chef” made a great meal out of the fluke. I’m looking forward to seeing the four of you next time.
We had a fantastic day at sea with Brian and Logan. They were very pleasant people, and they really worked hard and long to make sure we caught fish. We caught 7 bluefish, which Logan filleted so we could take them to Star Island Restaurant, where they prepared an absolutely fantastic lunch for us. Thank you so much from all of us. Victor, Leo, Jon and Tore
Tore & Crew, you guys were amazing. Watching you guys sing the Norwegian National Anthem was something that I will not forget any time soon. Thank you for choosing to fish with us and keep us in mind next time you visit NY.
we started with bottom fishing and caught a variety of weird little fish then we did some trolling, and we were successful in having a couple big fights with some bluefish
Happy Birthday Jacob. You, the boys and your mom dis a great job. You guy made this a great trip for me. With music playing and the fish biting it was really fun.
Captain Brian and First mate Cort took my family of five out for a great day fishing. We caught many fish and Captain Brian took us to multiple locations ensuring a successful outing. Highly recommend Reel Busy Sports Fishing !
