Targeted Species
We target a variety of species that inhabit the Long Island Sound. Our primary targeted species from May to October are striped bass and blue fish. We also target a variety of bottom species including porgies, sea bass, weakfish, fluke, and more.
Fishing Methods
For targeting striped bass and blue fish, we use jigging, lite tackle casting, live lining, chunking, and trolling. Captain Aaron will guide you by choosing the method that will be the most productive for your trip. When targeting bottom dwellers, we use bait, or jigs.
