Captain Michael sure knows a thing or two about filling the boat with fish, creating lasting memories, and providing an incredible day of fishing. His specialty is family outings, teaching anglers how to improve their skills, and of course small group charters, of up to 4 people. Everyone is welcome to join, whether you’re a novice or an expert and the captain will tailor a trip for you!


You’ll be with one of the most professional and preferred guides in the area, Captain Michael Behot. He has years of fishing experience and his goal is to give his clients the best experience possible for a reasonable price. With him, you’ll be in the hands of someone who is very familiar with the waters. His knowledge of the area was gained through his passion for fishing, as he has experience guiding in New Jersey, New York, the Florida Keys, and in Massachusetts.

Had an awesome and productive morning with Captain Mike knows where to find the bait, birds, and bass. I was able to put a hand on a PB 42”/ 30lbs on topwater. I highly recommend! In fact, I already booked another trip with him for next month.

My children and I did a half day striper fishing with Capt. Mike. He put us literally is familiar with the waters and was able to put us right on the fish, On a day where I literally can tell you there were hundreds of boats, like a parking lot, maybe saw 5-10 hookups, but Capt Mike worked extremely hard for us and and made sure we'll have a productive trip. He is extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of fishing, he can tell you about Florida fishing, Massachusetts fishing, salt water or freshwater fishing. Extremely easy going, great with kids, easy to talk to. I would absolutely book another trip with Moondog Fly and Light Tackle !!!!
