Stuart Mckenzie

Member since May 2024 Kingston, United States

Background: Capt. Stu McKenzie is experienced in navigating the waters of Kingston, New York, and the near coastal Atlantic Ocean and is ready to take you on a therapeutic fishing excursion. Keep your eyes peeled for Carp, Striped Bass, and Black Drum as you try your hand at bottom fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
Techniques: We mostly bait fish in the Hudson but will try multiple techniques

The fish are still in the Hudson!

May 24, 2026 Kingston

We are marking tons if fish daily. The bite has been a bit slow, but the fish sre still here and we are still catching them. Its a bit of a hide and seek game, and what they are eating changes by the hour and day

Fun on the run

Wind was terrible. Tide made it worse. But the fish were there and they did not disappoint

Fishing did not disappoint

If its rsining, the fish font care. They’re wet anyway! Good pick ups today. A little slow, but steady

Fishing is pretty good

May 4, 2026 Kingston

Gentle pick ups… They are eating baits and barely making a run. Very deceiving

Weekend Stripe Bass Spring Run - 12:00 PM

We went out on a very windy day and we knew it was going to be a challenge but the kids are always game being farm kids and Stu said if we were up for it… glad we did. The kids had an amazing time. Our goal was to land a fish as big as our 7yo daughter and Stu did not disappoint us. He worked so hard using his vast knowledge of the waters. I’ve caught plenty of great fish in my life and was fun to get that and keep it going for my own kids! Captain Stu is great! Stu is also has a... More

Started off windy and had trouble finding fish, but even when we weren’t catching fish, Captain Stu kept it fun, and entertaining. He’s an amazing guy and extremely funny. We caught a couple schoolies, a nice striper and a nice catfish. We highly recommend this trip!

We had a terrific time on board fishing with the captain. Very fun he was very knowledgeable, knew the area and where the fish liked to be, and knows a lot of awesome local history.
