Hunter Fishing bills itself as “the fastest way to the fishing grounds,” running open boat and private charter fishing trips out of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. Trips run aboard The Hunter, a 58-foot by 17-foot custom-built Rose Brothers vessel, certified to comfortably carry 28 passengers.
The business runs $100 open boat trips targeting Striped Bass and Bluefish, with morning departures 6am-2pm and evening/night departures 7pm-12am, seven days a week (season starting mid-April). Private charters are also available for groups wanting the boat to themselves, and the business offers boat delivery service as well.
Advance reservations are recommended and must be made by phone before arrival — booking ahead means guests only need to show up 45 minutes before departure, rather than lining up hours early to secure a spot on a first-come, first-served basis. The crew targets fish with precision rather than simply dropping anchor and hoping for the best.
With 58 reviews at a 4.6 average, Hunter Fishing has built a strong reputation in the competitive Sheepshead Bay charter fishing scene.
For anglers in Sheepshead Bay looking for an affordable open boat trip or a private charter targeting Striped Bass and Bluefish, Hunter Fishing offers a well-reviewed operation aboard the 58-foot Hunter.
