Fishing in New York City

Discover the unexpected angling paradise of New York City, where over 500 miles of shoreline and 40 islands create a world-class fishing destination amid the iconic skyline. The waters surrounding the Big Apple teem with diverse species year-round, from feisty Black Seabass and Flounder to trophy-sized Striped Bass—the undisputed stars of these waters.

Jamaica Bay, Raritan Bay, and the Hudson River serve as prime fishing grounds, offering sheltered inshore experiences alongside thrilling offshore adventures. Local captains leverage decades of expertise to navigate these rich ecosystems, timing trips perfectly with seasonal runs: Striped Bass dominate spring through fall, Bluefish surge in late summer, and bottom species like Tautog thrive into late autumn.

Whether casting beneath the Statue of Liberty or exploring the Atlantic's depths, charters cater to all skill levels with specialized light-tackle trophy hunts and family-friendly excursions. The unique blend of marine life and urban vistas—where skyline panoramas meet whale sightings—creates unforgettable moments far beyond conventional fishing trips.

With no license required for saltwater charters and options ranging from 3-hour harbor trips to full-day expeditions, New York City delivers unparalleled accessibility to both novice anglers and seasoned enthusiasts seeking their next great catch.

New York City Fishing Seasons

January
If it’s too cold to fish, head to the New York Boat Show to see some of the most impressive vessels on the market. This is the longest-running event of its kind, showcasing the industry’s flagships for over a century.
February

Most species head to warmer climates during the winter months, but cold-water fish like Cod laugh in the face of winter, hitting their peak from February through April. These trips are for hardy anglers only!

March
New York’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a must-see in March, with a quarter of a million marchers and over 3 million spectators each year. Almost as important is the arrival of big Flounder in the East River.
April
The Tribeca Film Festival is one of the top events in world film. It started as an attempt to heal a post-9/11 Manhattan and has been screening movies, documentaries, and short films every year since then.
May
The World Science Festival offers exciting exhibitions and activities which are great for the whole family. May is also peak Striper season, so don’t get too caught up in science stuff, there are big fish waiting!
June

Ten of 5th Avenue’s best museums open their doors for free in the Museum Mile Festival each June. Once you’ve soaked up the culture, head offshore to enjoy huge hookups of Bluefin Tuna and Sharks!

July
Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass are back on the menu on the Hudson River. Not to be outdone, the East River is bursting with Bluefish, Striped Bass, and Fluke. There are monster Blue Marlin offshore, too!
August
Enjoy performances unlike anything you’ve seen before in the largest multi-arts festival in the country - the New York International Fringe Festival. They won’t top the Marlin and Tuna bite offshore, though!
September
Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna are biting like crazy offshore. They’re not alone, with Makos, Threshers, and Blue Marlin tearing through the deepest waters. Inshore, huge Stripers put light tackle to the test.
October
The NYC Food & Wine Show presents fine dining from across the globe. Meanwhile, we’ll be on the water, catching some tasty Tautog for dinner. We’ve never really understood nouveau cuisine...
November
Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade is the biggest event of the year, with thousands of performers and dozens of floats making their way through downtown Manhattan. It’s not something you want to miss!
December
There’s plenty to do during the holiday season in New York. Watch the lights go on as you skate outside the Rockefeller Center or count down to the new year at Times Square. It’s a magical time to visit!
