Capt. John runs trips out of Montauk aboard a 28' Steiger Craft. These waters are known for Striped Bass and Flounder and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or drift fishing. With extensive knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Excellent Charter/Great Captain

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Top notch charter from stem to stern! Extremely capable, knowledgeable, helpful, and affable Captain. Great extended half day inshore charter landing shorts and keepers of multiple species throughout the morning. Some amazing dolphins and whales along the way. Immaculate, well organized, and maintained 28' Steiger made great time via dual 300hp Yamaha 4 strokes. Very comfortable and easy fishing in a beautiful part of the world. We enjoyed the experience tremendously. Can't recommend Cpt. John highly enough!

The tuna bite has been incredible the last week, large schools of 35-45” tuna have been moving north.

The Stripers are stacked in Montauk

May 26, 2024 • Montauk
Great day Striper fishing, there was lots of boat traffic but still managed to catch a good amount of stripers along with a couple keepers in the narrow slot limit. The June new moon and full moon bite should be awesome.
