This was our 2nd time out with Capt Vinnie and his mate, Roger. The first time was out of Sheepshead Bay in late August and we anchored off the north side of Staten Island, casting cut bunker for stripers. I took my 9-yr old son and a couple of friends. It was a wonderful morning and we came home with a couple meals worth of fish each, plus had fun pulling in a dogfish and a couple toadfish. The second time was out of Howard Beach and Broad Channel, jigging and topfishing for stripers and blues on a late September afternoon. Again, amazing time. my son brought along a friend and his mom and we all had a great time. The wind was a hassle but Vinnie must have gone all over Jamaica Bay with us in pursuit of the fish. We pulled in a gorgeous sea trout, porgy, a couple stripers and over a dozen fat bluefish. It was so much fun and as relatively novice fishermen who have caught the fishing bug, we learned so much. Fishing with Vinnie is great, great, great. Roger is a whiz with the filet knife and both of these seasoned gentlemen are firm but patient as heck with the kids and the wealth of knowledge they have to share alone is worth the price. Great value. Great experience. I can’t wait to go back out again.
