About Your Trip

Get out on the water with Captain Mike for a flexible day of fishing along the south shore of Long Island. These trips can be tailored to fish inshore, nearshore, or slightly offshore depending on conditions and what’s in season, giving you a well-rounded experience on the local waters.

You’ll be targeting a mix of species including Fluke, Striped Bass, Sea Bass, Porgies, Weakfish, and Bluefish. Captain Mike adjusts the plan based on the time of year and current patterns, focusing on productive areas to give you the best opportunity at quality fish.

Trips are a great fit for anglers of all experience levels, whether you’re brand new or have plenty of time on the water. Captain Mike takes a laid-back, helpful approach and is happy to provide as much guidance as you’d like throughout the trip.

Half-day trips run 5 hours and are a great option for a shorter outing, while full-day trips run 8 hours and allow more time to cover water and explore different areas. Both options accommodate up to 5 guests, making them ideal for small groups and families.

You’ll be fishing with a USCG-licensed captain aboard a well-equipped vessel based out of East Islip, providing quick access to nearby fishing grounds. The boat is also trailerable, allowing Captain Mike to adjust locations and stay dialed in on the bite. Modern electronics onboard help ensure a safe and efficient day on the water.

All rods, reels, bait, and tackle are included, so you can simply show up ready to fish. If you’re looking for a customizable Long Island trip with a knowledgeable captain and a variety of species to target, Captain Mike offers a solid day on the water.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
