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.

Half Day Trip (Morning)
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.
