NEW FOR 2025

New Location

Moved to Ponquogue Marine

86 Foster Ave, Hampton Bays, NY

located opposite Shinnecock Coast Guard Station

"We Fish the Tide Not the Clock"

NEW FOR 2025

3 Hour Fishing Special

Just enough time to bend the rods and maybe even bring home dinner.

½ Day - Full Day

Inshore - Offshore

We are located on the east end of Long Island’s south shore.

My boat is a 28’ Rampage Sportfish with all of the latest electronics & amenities.

The boat is docked at Ponquogue Marine in Hampton Bays, N.Y. literally

still minutes from Shinnecock inlet and the fishing grounds – short travel time

means more fishing time.

As my slogan suggests, I have no scheduled departure time but rather I pick the

prime hours for your trip that I feel will produce the most action.

Accommodating families with children has been a specialty of mine for many years.

I prefer the kids to handle the fish by themselves, therefore I use the lightest tackle that

will handle the fish.

If you have any questions or wish to book a charter…
