Highlands Tautog Fishing Charters

This trip will take you further out than the 5-hour one and you can go after a wide range of species. Your captain will provide all the gear, lures, and bait you need for a successful trip. Pack enough drinks and snacks to keep you going and you're all set! Later departure times are available upon request.

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.
