At $600 for your crew of four, it's a solid deal that lets you fish at your own pace without feeling rushed. Captain Kelly Anne knows these waters like the back of her hand and provides all the gear you need, plus the kind of hands-on guidance that turns good fishing days into great ones. Whether you're bringing the kids for their first real fishing adventure or just want to get away from the crowds with your private group, this trip hits the sweet spot between relaxed and productive.
What to Expect on the Water
Blue Point sits right in the heart of some of Long Island's most productive inshore fishing grounds. You'll be working the protected bays and inlets where fish love to hang out, plus venturing into the nearshore waters when conditions are right. The beauty of a 6-hour trip is that you're not watching the clock – there's time to move around, try different spots, and really dial in what's working. Captain Kelly Anne reads the water and adjusts the game plan based on what she's seeing, whether that means working structure for black sea bass, drifting the flats for summer flounder, or casting the shorelines when stripers are feeding. The relaxed pace makes this perfect for families and beginners who want to learn without pressure, but there's still plenty of action to keep experienced anglers interested. You can add up to two more people to your group for just $50 each if you want to bring a bigger crew along for the fun.
Techniques & Tackle
This is all about light tackle fishing done right. Depending on conditions and what the fish are doing, you might be casting lures around structure, drifting with bait over productive bottom, or working jigs in deeper water. Captain Kelly Anne brings the rods, reels, tackle, and bait, so you don't need to stress about having the right setup. The light tackle approach keeps things fun and gives everyone a chance to feel the fight, whether it's a scrappy bluefish or a solid striped bass. She'll show you the ropes on reading the water, working different presentations, and handling fish properly. The inshore environment around Blue Point is perfect for this style of fishing – you've got variety in structure, depth, and current that keeps things interesting throughout the day. The hands-on instruction means beginners pick up techniques fast, while experienced anglers often learn new tricks for their home waters.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Spotted weakfish are one of the real treats when fishing these waters. Also called speckled trout by many locals, these beautiful fish are known for their distinctive spots and that classic weakfish mouth that you need to be gentle with. They love grass flats and sandy bottoms, especially during the warmer months from late spring through early fall. What makes them special is their willingness to hit both bait and lures, plus they put up a surprisingly good fight on light tackle. The key is not horsing them in – that soft mouth earned them their name for a reason.
Bluefish are the workhorses of the inshore scene around Blue Point. These aggressive feeders show up in decent numbers from spring through fall, and when they're feeding, you know it. They'll hit just about anything you throw at them, making them perfect for beginners and kids. Blues range from small snappers to chopper-sized fish that can really bend a rod. The best part about blues is they're almost always willing to bite, so they keep the action going when other species are being finicky.
Black sea bass are structure lovers that hang around wrecks, rocks, and hard bottom areas. They're chunky fighters that don't give up easy, and the legal-sized ones make excellent table fare. Summer and early fall are prime time for sea bass, when they're feeding heavily and the bite is most consistent. They're perfect for bottom fishing techniques, and Captain Kelly Anne knows exactly where they like to set up shop in the local waters.
Summer flounder, or fluke as most locals call them, are the ultimate inshore prize fish. These flatfish can grow surprisingly large and are masters of camouflage, lying in wait on sandy bottoms for bait to swim by. The season typically runs from late spring through early fall, with the bigger fish often showing up in the heat of summer. What makes fluke fishing so addictive is that you never know when you might hook into a true doormat – a trophy fish that'll have you grinning for weeks.
Striped bass are the crown jewel of Northeast inshore fishing, and the waters around Blue Point see good runs of these fish throughout much of the season. Stripers are smart, strong, and can range from schoolie-sized fish to true cows that test your tackle and skills. They're feeding heavily during their migrations, and local fish often hang around structure and current edges. Whether you're casting lures or drifting bait, a good striper bite can make your whole day. These fish fight hard, jump occasionally, and are just plain fun to catch on light tackle.
Time to Book Your Spot
This 6-hour Blue Point charter delivers exactly what most anglers are looking for – enough time to really fish without breaking the bank, expert local knowledge, and the flexibility to adjust the approach based on conditions and what your group wants to experience. Captain Kelly Anne provides everything you need and the guidance to make it productive, whether you're complete beginners or seasoned anglers looking to explore new water. The South Shore of Long Island offers some of the most consistent and diverse inshore fishing on the East Coast, and this trip puts you right in the middle of it all. Remember that deposits are non-refundable, so make sure your dates work before booking. But once you're locked in, you're looking at a day on the water that'll remind you why
Learn more about the species
Black Sea Bass
Black sea bass are chunky, bottom-dwelling fish that average 1-4 pounds, with bigger males reaching 8+ pounds around deeper structure. They're easy to spot with their dark coloring and that distinctive hump on mature males during spawning season. We target them around wrecks, jetties, and rocky bottom in 20-80 feet of water from late spring through fall. They put up a solid fight until they hit the surface, then give up quick. Great fish for beginners and families since they bite readily and aren't hard to land. The meat is sweet and firm - one of the best eating fish we catch. Here's the key: use a two-hook bottom rig with squid or clam strips, and fish right on the bottom. They're curious fish, so sometimes lifting your rig a foot or two off bottom triggers strikes when the bite is slow.
Bluefish
Blues are aggressive predators that show up in our waters from late spring through fall, typically running 2-10 pounds with occasional larger fish. They travel in schools and are famous for their feeding frenzies - you'll know when you hit them because everyone starts hooking up at once. We find them around jetties, over sandy bottom, and following bait schools in 10-40 feet of water. They hit hard and fight strong with sharp teeth that'll cut through light leaders. Guests love the action since blues aren't picky about lures or bait. The meat is excellent when fresh, though larger fish have stronger flavor. My tip: use a wire leader or heavy fluorocarbon because those razor teeth will slice right through mono. When we locate a school, work fast - they can disappear as quickly as they arrive.
Spotted Weakfish
Spotted weakfish are silver-bodied fish with dark spots that typically run 12-16 inches, though they can reach 3 feet. Despite the name, they're actually in the drum family and make croaking sounds during spawning. You'll find them in shallow bays and grass flats, usually less than 30 feet deep over sandy bottoms. Spring through fall are prime times here on Long Island when they move into our estuaries. They're ambush predators that hit hard on light tackle - great for families since they fight well but aren't too tough to land. The meat has excellent flavor when cooked fresh. Pro tip: retrieve your lure slowly at first, then speed up when you see one following. Their mouths are soft, so keep steady pressure and don't horse them in or the hook will pull free.
Striped Bass
Stripers are the king of our local waters, ranging from schoolie-sized fish around 20 inches up to trophy bass over 40 pounds. They're structure-oriented fish that patrol rocky shorelines, jetties, and drop-offs looking for baitfish. Spring and fall migrations bring the best action, but we catch them year-round in our local waters. They're strong fighters that make long runs and are excellent eating with sweet, firm meat. Guests love targeting them because each fish feels like it could be "the one" - you never know if that next bite is a 25-incher or a 40-pound cow. Live eels and bunker chunks work great, but they'll hit lures too when they're feeding. Local tip: fish the moving water around inlet mouths during tide changes. Stripers use the current to position themselves for ambush, and that's when they feed most aggressively.
Summer Flounder
Summer flounder, or fluke, are flatfish that lie on sandy bottom waiting to ambush baitfish swimming overhead. Most run 15-20 inches, but we see plenty of "doormat" fish over 5 pounds during peak season. They're masters of camouflage, changing color to match the bottom. We drift over sandy areas in 15-60 feet, from the back bays out to nearshore waters. Best fishing runs May through October, with September being prime time. Guests enjoy the challenge since fluke can be finicky - they'll often grab bait and run before getting hooked. The white, flaky meat is outstanding table fare. Success tip: use a fluke rig with a spinner blade and long leader, tipped with squid and spearing. Let them run with the bait for a few seconds before setting the hook, and always net them carefully since those big ones can throw the hook right at the boat.
