Full Day Trip With Captain Ron

VERIFIED

This was my favorite experience I’ve had in Montauk. Captain Ron is an expert fisherman who has seen it all. We went on a full-day shark trip but it ended up being so much more. Ron was great to talk to and we had a lot of fun. We were able to hook a blue shark but also had a great day of fishing for blue fish and stripers. I landed a trophy striper and was also able to keep a smaller one that I plan on grilling later today. Ron is a really good man who knows where the fish are and I hope to... More

Fishing with Ronald

I just reread the description of the boat. It’s deceptive. There is no inside as is advertised. There is no shade cover. You are outside in the sun at all times. There is no inside bunk room that was offered in the advert. There was no crew. He is a one man show with no first mate . He sets up your jig while driving and therefore only one pole is in the water till he sets up the other one. The address is wrong on the advert. He is a hard working good man. He knows his fishing. It was... More

Thank you Michael for fishing with me and enjoying the fishing for and catching bluefish and striped bass. I must disagree with some of your incorrect assessments of the boat. There is indeed shade cover with an overhead canopy and side curtain There is a bunk area but in my 40 plus years in the business I’ve never had any ask about using a bunk on a half day fishing trip. I have regularly fished 4 people on the boat and that has never been an issue. There is really no need for a mate... More

There is a bunk area but in my 40 plus years in the business I’ve never had any ask about using a bunk on a half day fishing trip. I have regularly fished 4 people on the boat and that has never been an issue. There is really no need for a mate with small groups as you can only let one line out at a time regardless who does it, again I thank you for your positive comments

Had a full day shark fishing trip with Captain Ron, had a great day with my 3 friends. Ron knew right where the fish were and was very friendly and patient with my friends who weren’t the most experienced anglers. Had a great time pulling up sharks, once we had the chum in the water they keep coming and coming, and had great rods and Penn reels to battle them with. Will definitely be returning some time again when I’m in the area.
