Austin was supper terrific with our group out earlier today.  We were on many different fish species of all different sizes all day long.  We had three 12 year old boys and they can get restless pretty quickly.  Austin got them on fish immediately.  At one point, we move up to bigger fish but when the bite slowed for a bit we went back to smaller baits and started our drifts over to get them catching again.  Eventually, the bit turned back up and we got some sand sharks and stingrays!  Our kids stayed busy all day.  If we ever make it back to NYC to do some fishing, there is no doubt we would book with Austin again!

My wife and I had an absolutely great time! We booked a 4 hour morning trip and Captain Austin was as friendly as can be also extremely helpful, professional and knowledgeable. Most importantly he had us catching fish throughout the whole trip from the first cast to the very last. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to fish in the lower NYC area and will most likely book another trip with him when we come back. 5 Stars!

would recommend Austin 100% my husband and I took our son. Our son had a wonderful time. We had a good laugh, catching some fish and catching some new fish that we hadn’t seen before. It was an awesome morning on the water. My son and husband have done lots of fishing trips and thought Austin was pretty awesome himself.

We took a chance spending one of our precious New York days out on the water instead of sightseeing, shopping or dining and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our entire trip.

I went fishing with Captain Austin and my two boys (9 and 11 years old), and it was absolutely epic. Austin is not only a master fisherman who knows Jamaica Bay like the back of his hand, but also an incredible teacher and guide, especially with kids. He was patient, kind, and turned every moment into an opportunity for my boys to learn, cast, reel, and have fun.

Everything about the experience was smooth, safe, and unforgettable. The views of Manhattan and Brooklyn from the bay are breathtaking, and the thrill of catching fish made it even better. My kids were beyond excited, and as a parent, watching their faces light up every time they felt a bite is something I’ll never forget.

After all the amazing things we did in New York — Times Square, Central Park, the musicals, shopping — this trip with Austin stands out as the most special moment of our vacation. The service, the attention to detail, the calm atmosphere on the water… it’s simply 100 out of 100.

If you’re in New York with family, kids, or even a group of friends, don’t miss this experience. The price is a bargain for what you get.

Thank you, Austin, for making this day unforgettable for us. 🎣💙

My 8 year old son and I went out for the afternoon and we had a great day. Austin was so attentive to my son and made sure we caught fish. We even went home with two flounders for dinner! Highly recommend
