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.

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.
caught tons of fish, very nice equipment, captain and crew were very knowledgeable and personable. they will get you on the fish no question. we will definitely be back in the future, cant say enough good things about our trip.
Caught a massive striped bass! And some porgies and a nice bluefish. Great day on the water. Brian and Ben were great. Really helpful and fun! Hope to go again this Summer.
it was a pleasure having you on the boat, Andrew with your son NOAA and MC. I think I enjoyed the trip just as much as you did especially after putting a tag in that Trophy Fish named Cody. Hope to see you guys soon be well. Capt Brian
This was the first time I tried a fishing charter. Captain Brian and Logan were outstanding! We had a great time catching fish off of Montauk. I felt that they really knew what they were doing, and enjoyed being out there as much as we did. Thank you gentlemen, looking for forward to our next trip.
Great work for a first timer. Adding a 50lb striped bass to the records books, aint so bad for a couple of first timers. you all did incredible and those other bass that we couldn’t keep were in the 45lb class. Plus a slot bass, all on jig??? Come on man…are you sure you guys are first timers. Again great work by your entire crew. we can’t wait to get you and the boys out there again.
Fun. Exhilarating. Caught multiple strippers, blues and other fish. Lots of keepers. Captain Brian and Logan made us feel part of the team. We ranged from inexperienced to master fishermen and yet the crew helped each of us have a great time. Highly recommend.
Melanie, you guys were amazing. Logan and I enjoyed the trip just as much as you did. I look forward to seeing you next season and we will be working on additional seating this winter.
