Come prepared for different types of weather. It might be a little cooler in the morning than you would expect.

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

Keep expectations reasonable - our first attempt at a trip here was cancelled due to windy/unsafe conditions. We persevered and succeeded on our second attempt with a dream fishing day!

Bring lots of water in the summertime and get ready to have an arm workout! If in season, the bluefish by the race bite like wildfire.

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

The fishing was excellent. We caught sea bass, stripers, summer flounder, and a blue. It was a lot of fun.

There are restrictions on bass and fluke that should be researched before going. Cod is not available at this time, but will be in colder months. The beaches however cannot be beat in the summer.

Would have loved to catch some Striped Bass but I don't think we went at the best time of year for them. We did catch a wide variety of other types, however, and several were even keepers!

Captain Mike and Darren were AMAZING! They took my father and I to their local spots and were just the perfect crew! We caught lots of fish. I will definitely book a trip with them next time I am in the area. Highly recommended! Boaz

the race has an interesting underwater topography that makes it a great fishery, and like any saltwater fishing, you’ll hafta be ready for some waves, but nothing too serious.

the Bass are migrating from their Hudson spawn and heading through the Long Island Sound north. Capt Steve Coby at Chance in a Lifetime Charters by far the best at catching Strip Bass on the planet, been fishing with him for 15 years. you will have a fantastic time. Frank
