Looking for a solid day on the water without breaking the bank? This 6-hour Blue Point fishing charter with Kelly Anne Charters gets you and up to three buddies out on Long Island's South Shore for $600. You can squeeze in two more anglers for $50 each if needed. Captain knows these local bays, inlets, and nearshore waters like the back of his hand, and he'll put you on fish whether you're a first-timer or you've been wetting lines for decades. All your gear's included, plus the kind of hands-on coaching that turns a good day into a great one.
This trip's built for folks who want plenty of time to get comfortable and really fish. Six hours gives you room to try different spots, switch up techniques, and not feel rushed when the bite gets hot. The captain runs a relaxed operation that works great for families with kids or groups where some people are just learning the ropes. You'll be working the productive waters around Blue Point, hitting the kind of structure and current breaks that hold fish consistently. Expect to move around a bit - that's how you stay on the bite. The boat's set up for comfort, so even if someone in your group isn't hardcore about fishing, they'll have a good time out there.
Your captain brings the right gear for whatever's biting - quality rods and reels matched to the fish you're targeting. Depending on conditions and what's around, you might be casting lures to visible fish, drifting baits over structure, or working jigs near the bottom. Light tackle keeps things fun and gives even smaller fish a chance to put up a real fight. Fresh bait's always on board, whether it's bunker chunks, squid strips, or whatever the local fish are keyed in on. The captain reads the water and adjusts tactics throughout the trip. Some days that means staying mobile and covering water, other times it's about finding a sweet spot and working it thoroughly. Part of the fun is learning these different approaches and seeing what clicks for you.
Spotted weakfish are making a real comeback in these waters, and they're absolute blast on light tackle. These silver bullets hit hard and make long runs that'll test your drag. They love structure and moving water, especially during tide changes. Most fish run 14 to 20 inches, perfect eating size, and they've got some of the most delicate white meat you'll find. Spring and fall are prime time, but summer evenings can be magic too.
Bluefish are the area's most reliable fighters - aggressive, abundant, and always ready to eat. They'll hit just about anything you throw at them, making them perfect for beginners, but their powerful runs and sharp teeth keep experienced anglers honest. Summer brings the biggest schools, though you'll find them from May through October. They're excellent on the table when fresh, and nothing beats the satisfaction of a cooler full of blues after a good day.
Black sea bass hang around rocky structure and wrecks, and they're pound-for-pound some of the strongest fish out there. They don't make long runs, but they'll try to get back to their hole with everything they've got. The 15-inch minimum keeps things interesting, and a keeper black sea bass is prime table fare. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall, with the biggest fish showing up as water temps rise.
Summer flounder, or fluke, are the ultimate light-tackle challenge. These flatfish are masters of camouflage and can be picky about presentation, but when you connect, their sideways fighting style is unlike anything else. The 19-inch minimum means you're looking for quality fish, and a doormat fluke is a trophy worth bragging about. They're most active during summer months, especially around sandy bottoms near structure.
Striped bass are the crown jewel of local fishing - smart, powerful, and absolutely beautiful fish. They can be anywhere from schoolie size to genuine trophies, and they'll test every aspect of your fishing skills. These fish are catch-and-release only during certain seasons, but the experience of fighting a good striper is worth more than any fish dinner. They move through these waters following bait, so timing and location are everything.
Six hours of guided fishing with all gear included, room for your whole crew, and a captain who knows where to find them - that's solid value at $600. The deposit locks in your date, and while it's non-refundable, you're booking with a charter service that's built their reputation on putting clients on fish. Whether you're planning a family outing, introducing someone to saltwater fishing, or just want a relaxed day with friends, this Blue Point charter delivers the kind of fishing experience that keeps people coming back. The South Shore of Long Island offers some of the most consistent inshore fishing on the East Coast, and Kelly Anne Charters knows how to make the most of it.
This 32-foot Regulator center console is built to handle Long Island's South Shore waters with serious comfort and fishing capability. The spacious deck gives your crew of up to 4 anglers plenty of room to cast, fight fish, and move around without bumping elbows. Quality rods and tackle are ready to go, while the fish finder helps locate productive spots in local bays and nearshore waters. When the action heats up, outriggers let you spread multiple lines for better coverage. The onboard icebox keeps your catch fresh and drinks cold during the full 6-hour trip. GPS and radar ensure safe navigation, even when visibility drops. The restroom adds convenience for families and longer fishing sessions. This boat delivers the stability and features needed for productive inshore fishing, whether you're drifting for fluke, casting for stripers, or jigging bottom structure around Blue Point's productive fishing grounds.
Centropristis StriataBlack sea bass are perfect for families and beginners - they're cooperative, tasty, and put up a solid fight for their size. Most run 1-4 pounds, but we get some nice 6+ pounders around structure. They love wrecks, rocks, and pilings, usually in 20-80 feet of water. Spring through fall is best when they move inshore. What's cool is they're all born female, then the big ones change to males with that distinctive hump on their heads. They're excellent table fare - sweet, flaky white meat. They'll eat squid, clams, or small jigs bounced near bottom. My tip: once you hook up, keep steady pressure and reel quickly to get them off the bottom. They'll try to duck back into the rocks and break you off if you give them slack.
Pomatomus SaltatrixBlues are some of the most aggressive fish you'll encounter around here. These razor-toothed fighters typically weigh 2-10 pounds but can hit 20+ in good years. They travel in schools and go absolutely nuts when feeding - we call it a "blitz" when they're chopping up baitfish on the surface. Summer through fall is prime time, especially when bunker and snappers are around. They'll hit just about anything - spoons, poppers, cut bait. What guests love is the non-stop action once you find them, plus they're great eating when fresh. Pro tip: use a wire leader or heavy fluorocarbon - those teeth will cut through regular line in a heartbeat. When you see birds diving, get there fast. The action won't last long.
Cynoscion NebulosusSpotted weakfish are fun targets in our local waters, though they're more common down south. These silvery fish with dark spots typically run 12-16 inches, but can surprise you with bigger specimens. They love shallow grass flats and sandy bottoms, especially during warmer months. What makes them exciting is their soft mouth - you've got to play them carefully or they'll throw the hook. They're ambush predators that hit lures aggressively, making them great for light tackle action. The meat has excellent flavor when cooked fresh. My tip: when you feel one hit, don't set the hook too hard. Let the fish load up on the rod first, then apply steady pressure. Their mouths tear easily, so smooth movements are key to landing these beauties.
Morone SaxatilisStripers are the crown jewel of our local fishing scene. These powerhouse fighters can range from schoolie-sized 20-inchers up to trophy fish over 40 pounds. They love structure - jetties, rocks, drop-offs - and you'll find them in everything from shallow bays to deeper channel edges. Spring and fall migrations bring the best fishing, but we get them year-round. What guests love is their strength and the variety of ways to catch them - live bait, lures, even fly fishing works. They're also fantastic eating. The key around here is fishing moving water during tide changes. My favorite tip: when using live eels at night, let them swim naturally near structure. The bigger bass can't resist a slow-moving eel presentation.
Paralichthys DentatusFluke are the ultimate challenge for anglers who like to think while they fish. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, lying on sandy bottoms waiting to ambush prey. Most keeper-sized fish run 16-24 inches, but we get some real doormat-sized ones over 5 pounds. They're in our bays and nearshore waters spring through fall, moving to deeper water when it gets cold. What makes them special is they're like underwater chameleons - they change color to match the bottom perfectly. The meat is premium eating, sweet and flaky. My go-to technique: drift with the tide using a bucktail tipped with squid or spearing. Keep it moving just off bottom - they want to see that bait swimming, not sitting still.
