Captain Skippy Charters

Capt. Brian of Captain Skippy Charters in Mount Sinai reports a great week of fishing providing you stay away from the influx of seals that found their way to mid-Sound. Striped bass are still consistent with fish to 45 inches finding their way on board this week. Live bait, trolling or tossing plugs on light spinning outfits are all effective. Skippy Charters continues to collaborate with Gray Fish Tag which gives anglers the opportunity to tag, name and release oversize stripers in the name of science. This week’s shout out goes to 8 year old Tiera and her sisters who caught and tagged and released a 45-inch striper they named “Feisty Marshmallow”. Porgy fishing remains spectacular along the deeper drops with large black sea bass in the mix. Bluefishing has been tough as of late and fluke are on the shoals but keepers are out of the picture for the most part. Capt. Skippy Charters is now running half day charters targeting a mix bag of stripers, blues, porgies and sea bass. To arrange a quality trip to four passengers, please call Capt. Brian at (631) 252-6536.
