Steve and Jill have been fishing Montauk for 25 years, first starting out a 28' BHM charter boat (the first November Rain). After that they graduated to a 35' Young Brothers and now have a custom built 43' Lowell, a multi-passenger vessel on which we can comfortably carry up to 20 people.

    Amazing Corporate Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) • 10 adults

    I took my team out with Steve and Anthony on the November Rain on September 16, 2026. They were professional and super friendly. Everyone caught fish and had a fantastic time! The fact that they had a charter leaving at 10:30 AM and coming back at 3:30 PM was absolutely perfect and was a huge reason why I picked them. I would highly recommend going out with them for anyone whether it be a corporate team retreat or a family outing or just fun with friends.

    Reported catch:
    Black Seabass
    Scup (Porgy)
    Striped Bass

What's biting with November Rain Charters in Montauk

By November, the offshore pelagics have generally moved on, with the action now staying steadily closer to home. Make the most of the open season for Blackfish (Tautog) and keep chasing those Stripers!
