What anglers said about fishing in New York City

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Dress properly for the weather. If your not sure how to dress appropriately for being warm out on the water talk to the captain before your trip so you can fully enjoy your time on the water.

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!
