New York City Striped Bass Fishing Charters

Spending 6 hours on the water will give you plenty of time to fill the boat with delicious fish. You'll explore the bays and shallow waters out of New York, barely out of downtown. Yes, these waters – so close to the city – are home to some incredible species. Come and explore them as you bottom fish in the hope of hooking a Striper, Bluefish, Seabass, Weakfish, Scup, and many more to fill the fridge with some tasty fish.

The Striped Bass run starts in early April and continues until late June or early July. They return for the fantastic fall run in mid-October. Additionally, you can chase Bluefish to 20 lb, Fluke (Flounder), Sea Bass, and Porgy through the summer.

Full day trip, Captains choice. Please remember the mates work for tips, at least 20% of the fare is customary and greatly appreciated.

Make the most of the productive waters of the Long Island Sound. Home to incredible game and table fish, you'll head around 10 miles away from the dock, targeting Stripers, Tautog, and Bluefish. Try bottom fishing and jigging to entice the bite, before getting ready for battle, as the fish will try anything to wriggle away from your line. If you get them on the boat, just pop them in the ice box to stay fresh, and you'll be in for a delicious treat at the end of the day.
