What anglers said about fishing in Long Island

A bit early in the season for striped bass but we made it work and found the few that were there. Raritan Bay is popular but lots of space to fish and move around if necessary while being fairly close to the dock so more time fishing and less traveling.

Weather plays a huge part of any fishing experience. We had a great Fall day. Be prepared for a ride out to open water.

I suggested it’s not good for children as the water conditions can change fast. It could be dangerous to have a kid on a boat when the waves get large.

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

We could have booked charters closer to us in Connecticut. We thought it would be better to fish as close to open ocean as possible and we were not disappointed!!

Be flexible in the fish you target. Listen to the crew and target the fish that are available based on the weather/season.

We decided to take our parents fishing this weekend. Although the weather was a bit windy and cloudy, we were safe throughout the trip. It was our first time fishing in the sea, and it was a great experience overall. However, we did all get a bit seasick, so if you’re considering this, be prepared! A big thank you to the captain and crew—they were fantastic. We would definitely do this again.

Make sure you know what fish you are going for will be in the area. These captains know the migrations and if you want strippers in mid August - don’t waste your time / money. If you are just looking to have some fun with blues - this is the trip.

Stripers not so available in Aug, but plenty of black bass, which are quite good eating.
