Captain Skippy Charters

Capt. Brian of Captain Skippy Charters in Mount Sinai is happy to report that the striped bass fishing is picking up in the central Long Island Sound. After a slow start from the cold winter, water temps are finally over the 50 degree mark and more and more fish are moving in every day. They have been catching schoolies to bass over 15 pounds by trolling, jigging and with bait. If it’s anything like the last few seasons, things are setting up to be an epic spring bass run. They will once again be collaborating with Gray Fish Tag, giving anglers the unique opportunity to catch, tag, name, and release over-slot striped bass all in the name of science. Following suit, it’s been a slow start on the fluke and porgy front, but things are picking up. As water temperatures continue to rise there should also be great fluke action feeding on sand eels on the shoals, along with drop and stick LI Sound porgy fishing May-June. After such a brutal winter, there’s no better time than now to get your family back out on the water.  Call (631) 252-6535 to book a trip.

Capt. Brian of Captain Skippy Charters in Mount Sinai reports he will get the ball rolling by the first week of May with striped bass leading the way. Capt. Brian relayed word that if bass fishing begins as it has for the past few seasons, then anglers will be in for a special treat with fish to 30 pounds. This year the Capt. Skippy has been up graded to a 26 foot Down Eastern carrying one to four passengers. Once again, this year the Capt. Skippy will be collaborating with Gray Fish Tag giving anglers the unique opportunity to tag, name and release oversize bass in the name of science. In addition there should be great shots with fluke, porgies and bluefish. If you want to experience a great day on the water with a few friends or family members, you can reserve your day on the Capt. Skippy by calling (631) 252-6535.
