July

It’s easier to count the fish you can’t target in July. Hit the lake for Salmon, head offshore for Sharks and Tuna, fish the shallows for Striped Bass. The only thing off the cards is Tautog.

Just bring Ice, some food and drinks, zip lock bags and ice. Maybe sun screen and a good attitude.

Never expect to catch and be pleasantly surprised when you do. Seems to be a great time to fish in that area.

Far from an expert but from what I've seen the two times I been out this year, water temps are key. There's a spring hit and a summer hit. Summer hit is going to kick in soon, we were on the start of it today possibly from the full box of fish we caught. Actually missed two but all good

We actually went out of Bart's Cove, Dunkirk which I requested since it was only a few days before the captain was relocated his boat there anyways.

Be flexible, the Captain knows his stuff and is ready with a back-up plan if necessary. He is skilled in his craft.

Research your guide choice, ask what fish the guide is consistently catching, follow fishing reports from other guides, monitor the weather and dress appropriately show interest while fishing and stay committed to the end of the trip. My last retrieve of the day produced my bucket list fish. Take photos to remember the adventure !

Bring your own fishing poles, the pole they provide are good, only issue is they only have “Right Handed Poles” and they are “Bait Cast” poles so it is difficult to cast further than 3-5 feet off the boat. For best results bring a “Spin Cast Reel” which allows you to cast further out and also helps you not get tangled in other peoples lines….

From my experience at home fishing ( about 75 miles north of Henderson Harbor) this seems to be an off year there as well as Henderson. Cool temps lots of rain etc. But things are getting better so I think thinks will improve over the next month.

A little slow for the season, but I caught four keeper fluke. The mates really know baits, rigs, and techniques; they will show you jigging styles and baits that catch. There's a lot of different structure and currents in NY harbor, and stuff changes pretty quickly location to location, so each time you switch spots, ask the mates how they would fish that spot.

Be patient. Be prepared for cold, rainy weather. Bring water, hats, lip balm. Follow the Skipper's suggestions and you'll have a wonderful time catching fish. Oh, also, we were very lucky, of course. When fishing, no one can guarantee that you'll catch anything! The only sure way to catch a fish is to have someone throw a fish to you!

Make sure you dress in layers. We had to turn away from the sun. Even though it was about 66 degrees out. Away from the sun felt like 50. So wear layers!! That way if you are warm you can take some off but always over dress.
