Ready to hit the waters off Greenport for some serious fishing action? Our private 6-hour charter is the perfect way to spend an afternoon and evening chasing some of Long Island's most sought-after gamefish. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, we've got everything you need for a killer day on the water. We're talking rods bent, drags screaming, and fish in the box – all while soaking in the beauty of the North Fork.
As soon as we push off from the dock in Greenport, you'll feel the excitement building. Our 6-hour trip is timed perfectly to take advantage of the afternoon and evening bite, when the stripers and blues really start to feed. We'll cruise to some of my favorite honey holes, where I've been putting clients on fish for years. With room for up to six anglers, there's plenty of space to spread out and fish comfortably. No need to bring any gear – we've got top-notch rods, reels, and tackle all ready to go. Just bring your game face and maybe a cooler for your catch.
On this trip, we'll be using a mix of tried-and-true techniques to target striped bass and bluefish. Depending on the conditions and where the fish are holding, we might start off trolling with umbrella rigs or diving plugs. If we mark some fish on the finder, we'll switch it up to jigging or live-lining bunker. As the sun starts to set, topwater plugs can really get the stripers fired up. I'm always watching the birds and looking for bait – those are the keys to finding the big schools. Throughout the trip, I'll be right there with you, offering tips on technique and making sure you're in the best position to land that trophy fish.
"My fellow fishermen if you are looking for a great day of fishing look no further than Kevin "The Boss" Moss and North Fork Fishing Charters. I have been on many trips with Kevin and his awesome mate Pete and the rods bend from the first drop until the third whistle. Pete is so helpful tying rigs, prepping bait and of course filleting the days catch and Kevin works hard doing whatever it takes to find the fish. Give 'em call to get out 🎣🎣" - Todd
"Great day of Fishing with Kevin and Pete. Nonstop rod bending action on fish up to 6lbs for me. Lost count of the amount of keepers we had to throw back. If you want a good experience blackfishing get out and fish with these guys. You won't regret it" - Justin
Striped Bass: The crown jewel of Long Island fishing, stripers are the fish that keep anglers coming back year after year. These hard-fighting predators can grow to over 50 pounds, though a good keeper around here is typically in the 28-35 inch range. Stripers love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting jetties, rips, and underwater humps. In the spring and fall, we often find them busting bait on the surface – a sight that'll get your heart racing. The satisfaction of landing a big striper is hard to beat, and the meat is delicious if you decide to keep one for the table.
Bluefish: Don't let anyone tell you blues are just a nuisance fish. These toothy critters are some of the hardest-fighting fish pound-for-pound you'll find in these waters. We typically see them anywhere from 2 to 15 pounds, and when they're in a feeding frenzy, the action is non-stop. Blues will hit just about anything that moves, making them great for anglers of all skill levels. They're famous for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. While they're not the best eating fish out there, smoked bluefish is a local delicacy worth trying.
There's something special about fishing the waters around Greenport. Maybe it's the way the light hits the water as the sun sets over the Sound.

Bluefish are aggressive fighters that'll give you a real thrill on light tackle. They usually run 3-10 pounds but can get up to 20. We find them in bays, tidal rivers, and just offshore during summer and early fall. Blues travel in schools, so when you hook one, there's often more nearby. They're known for their sharp teeth and ferocious feeding frenzies - it's quite a sight to see them churning up the water. The meat has a strong flavor, but it's delicious when fresh and properly prepared. To catch blues, try using oily baitfish or metal lures that mimic their prey. A word of caution though - watch your fingers when unhooking them. Their bite is no joke!
Striped bass are a prized catch around here, usually weighing 20-40 pounds but can get up to 70. They're structure-oriented fish, so we target them near reefs, sandbars, and drop-offs close to shore. Spring and fall are prime seasons as they migrate through our waters. Stripers put up a good fight and make excellent eating with their sweet, meaty flesh. Anglers love their distinctive appearance with those telltale dark stripes. For the best shot at landing one, try fishing at dawn or dusk when they're most active near the surface. Live bait like herring or eels works well, but I've had great luck with topwater lures too. Just remember to use a strong line - these powerful swimmers can really test your gear.
