Member since October 2022 New York City, United States

Background: I love taking people out fishing in New York City! Jamaica Bay, Lower NY Bay, and the New York Bight offers calm, sheltered water, teeming with gamefish! There is no better feeling than spending a great day on the bay!
Techniques: Light tackle back bay and coastal jigging and live bait fishing for all inshore species in season including trophy fluke, striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, porgies, and false albacore.

Doing the ling thing

Jul 1, 2025 New York City

We took advantage of a flat calm ocean to hit some local rock piles and found them loaded with ling. Bait and jigs both produced very well.

Beat the heat

Jun 25, 2025 New York City

100 degrees on land but beautiful on the water for our sunset special last night.

Fluke and blues at sunset

Jun 24, 2025 New York City

Sunset has been the magic hours on the water. Bluefish on the surface. Fluke feeding on the scrapes below the blitz. 4 inch zman diezel minnow on a 1/2 oz jighead was perfect for nonstop action.

Slammers!

Jun 7, 2025 New York City

Bluefish from 2 to 12 pounds have invaded Jamaica Bay. Striped bass are mixed in as well as the omnipresent sand sharks.

All ages welcomed aboard!

Jun 6, 2025 New York City

Big and small, we welcome them all! Fishing in the calm, sheltered water of Jamaica Bay for fluke provides steady action for the whole family without long boat rides across choppy water.

NYC striped bass fishing

May 5, 2025 New York City

Picking up right where we left off at the end of last season. Striped bass have returned. We’ll catch them good through mid June before switching gears to summer flounder (fluke) and bluefish. All good ??

We took a trip with Austin and had such an amazing time! Austin was knowledgable, professional, and super personable. We caught plenty of fluke and had a smooth ride. I would recommend fishing with Austin to anyone who is looking!

Thank you very much Dan! It was our pleasure having you both onboard with us. Fresh flounder is hard to beat; especially the ones you catch yourself. Best regards always, Austin 👍🎣

Captain Austin was outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed my first time fishing Jamaica Bay and waters around NYC. He not only has deep knowledge as a guide but also shared a lot of knowledge about the surrounding topography.

We celebrated my dad’s birthday with Austin, and had a great time! Austin was a great host, and made sure my dad was well-taken care of. Super easy fishing, and everyone caught multiple fishes.
