About Your Guide

James McSwigin

Independent Guide
Captain Jim and his wife Carolyn both share a common "love and passion" for fishing. They began fishing together over 20 years ago in Montauk, NY, While Captain Jim has been running a six-pack for the last decade, you would often find Carolyn fishing with other fishing friend, both accumulating the necessary knowledge to start their own operation. They have watched their dream come true over the past 5 years, as they now own and operate their own new charter boat.

Together, they bring over 35 years of local knowledge and experience, as they have been fishing all through the east end, inshore and offshore. Even on vacations, the couple will fish in Florida, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica and anywhere they can find an ocean. They have entered tournaments, winning and placing, with bluefish, striped bass, and monster sharks. Captain Jim and Carolyn plan on making great memories on this new venture of theirs, and look forward to making you a part of them!!
