Winter Blackfish Charters
Winter is the perfect time to pursue blackfish, which are abundant in the deeper waters off Long Island. These fish are known for their powerful fights and distinctive appearance, with black and white markings that make them a sought-after catch. They inhabit rocky structures and wrecks, making them both challenging and rewarding to catch.
Our deep-water charters are specifically designed for blackfish enthusiasts. We provide custom rods and reels suited for the strength and agility of these fish. Our experienced crew is committed to guiding you through the best techniques and strategies to ensure a successful day on the water.
The Right Bait for Blackfish
A crucial element of blackfish fishing is selecting the right bait. Blackfish are bottom feeders that primarily consume crustaceans, making them particularly attracted to certain types of bait. On the Sorry Charlie, we use white and green crabs, which are highly effective in enticing blackfish from their rocky hideouts. Our crew is well-versed in baiting techniques and will provide expert advice on how to present the bait to maximize your chances of landing a catch.
White crabs, often preferred in colder months, are known for their durability and effectiveness in attracting blackfish. Green crabs, with their lively movement and scent, also prove irresistible to tautog. The Sorry Charlie ensures you have access to the freshest and most effective bait, optimizing your fishing experience.
