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!
