THE FISHING
Our season begins approximately in the middle of May and extends through October, weather permitting. The summer season consists primarily of fishing for striped bass and bluefish with some bottom fishing for cod, haddock, flounder etc. (early and late in the season with the cooler water temperatures). Many different techniques are used aboard Lucky Strike to catch fish depending on the personal preference of the anglers with regards to the habits of the fish, which change as the season develops. Trolling, livelining, light-tackle spincasting, flyfishing, chumming/bait fishing are some of the techniques available to anglers onboard Lucky Strike depending on the habits of the fish and the time of the season. Your catch will always be cleaned, filleted and packaged at no charge if you desire. Pictures of your catch will be provided at no charge if you do not have a camera.
