Background
Mudslides is a 36' Chris Craft Convertible, Capt. Steve ensures a great fishing experience in the waters of Long Island Sound as well as Block Island, The Race, Montauk and Offshore. We specialize in Black SeaBass and Tautog in the sound in season and also are often found hunting Stripers, Bluefish, Flounder, Weakfish and other species. Heading offshore we'll be looking for Tuna, Marlin, Mahi and Sharks. Please bring children and beginners, we're ready to show them a great time as well as seasoned fishermen. If you're not fishing but just want to come along, we have very comfortable accommodations.
Techniques
It's often been said that the fish on ice at the supermarket have a better chance of survival than those under the Mudslides. Of course, that's said mostly by the Captain, but it has proven true more than a few times.
