What would you recommend to anglers fishing in New York City, New York for the first time?

The fishing experience was great. We went to many different spots and caught a lot of fish. My only negative, the toilet on the boat was not flushing. Ladies, hold it if you can, if you can't, walk with wipes

Make sure you bring your own equipment. Even your own bait debate was so small you can only catch a minnow very cheap with the shrimp. Make sure they go deep enough and the water is hundred feet deep over a wreck, or even to the mud hole out of the deep part of the ocean, where the fish sit and wait for you to come and get them.

Do it! I lost count after hooking into 5 bluefish - the smallest was probably about 7 pounds. We landed one small schoolie bass. The fish were coming in fresh from the ocean. The weather was awesome - not too cold, not too hot. I grew up in New York and I had never seen the skyline from that particular angle.

Go to captain Jeff. His crew will help you and teach you what to keep and eye out for and what to feel for.

I would recommend finding someone who is good with beginners. Getting tips and tricks really did help!

Have fun! The fish really want to bite so give them a chance to hook themselves.

Book a trip with Captain Mike on Never Enuff fishing charter! The black fish were biting all day!

Don’t hesitate to piss before boarding boat if you’re a woman. Bring a hoodie if you get cold easily

Very good for what you get, a fee hidden costs but avoidable if you bring your own gear

Great family day out - our captain was great showing the kids how to fish - they were thrilled!

Great , fishing community, welcomes and enjoys newbies. All are welcome and appreciated
