From March To Christmas

The Western Long Island Sound has one of the longest fishing seasons in the North East.
Our Boats hit the water in March in search of Striped Bass that have moved on to the shallow waters of the Hudson. Within 30 minutes of Manhattan the action in March and April can be outrageous. May through July is our Spring Run. August Menhaden spawn and the sounds busts wide open.
