What anglers said about fishing in New York City

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.

If you are coming from elsewhere in Connecticut, be prepared for traffic on your way in. Leave early enough to have buffer time for your buffer.

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.

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!

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

The sound is a great fishery, but sometimes the bite is not what we hope. Enjoy your trip, your companions and your time on the water!
