Capt. George Bartenback is the owner and operator of the Captain Rod. Representing the third generation in a family run business, Captain Bartenback has forty years of experience fishing the Great South Bay. His right hand man, Capt. Danny Poland, has been sharing the helm for the past thirty years as well. The duo has a fantastic clientele and considers family fishing to be their specialty. The Captain Rod herself is a very comfortable 65 feet long, sturdy fishing vessel fitted with the latest in Coast Guard approved and required safety equipment. Finding the fish requires both experience and the latest in fishing finding equipment and you will find both on the Capt. Rod. Pleasant amenities aboard the boat include a heated spacious cabin, separate and clean rest rooms, cold sodas, morning coffee, beverages and snacks are available. The addition of a sundeck offers sanctuary for sun worshipping fishermen and a peaceful and family oriented atmosphere. Perhaps the most important detail to mention about the Capt. Rod, however, is her experienced, helpful and friendly crew that is there to assist you in any way possible. They will happily work with beginners of all ages while providing the regulars with bait, cleaning fish and re-rigging rods. All bait and tackle are provided to match the variety of fish being targeted. Speaking of which, the Captain Rod commonly chases flounder, fluke, blackfish, sea bass, striped bass and bluefish.
