General Info

On Rockfish Charters we cater to families and novice fisherman, as well as the 'hardcore' fisherman. We are a full-time 6 man charter boat that brings a level of professionalism and consistency that is unmatched in our area. We specialize in live bunker trophy striped bass fishing. On these trips, limit catches of striped bass from 20lbs to 40lbs is common. At certain times of the year you have a chance at 50lb+ fish!!! The bulk of our live line trips are done from April 15th thru the end of July. We start each trip cast netting our bait (usually bunker). We are in a central Brooklyn location for striper fishing, and fish several bodies of water at any given time. Raritan bay, Jamaica Bay, Ambrose channel, Sandy Hook, Breezy point, Coney Island, Lower Manhattan including East + Hudson River, and open Atlantic Ocean are all areas that we fish through the season. These areas are commonly referred to as the NY Bight.
