popriveter Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I will be accompanying my wife on her first business trip to NYC the last week in March. I have some time to kill during the day and am considering the viability of hopping on a party boat. I can't budget in a charter, but figured a spot on a party boat would land in the $30-$50 range. A: Is that even an option at that time of time of year? B: Can anyone point me in the direction of a good place or help me avoid a bad one?Any help would be appreciated.

CNYFrank Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 The guys on this site are mostly from central NY and about 5+ hours from the city, so unless you get lucky, I don't think we have any info to pass on. You might want to just check the internet and hope for some customer ratings. First trip to NYC . . . do some sight seeing, it will be worth it. Madison Square Gardens, Brooklyn Brewery, Grand Central Station, Statue of Liberty. Times Square. . .that should fill up a half day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popriveter Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for the reply. I have 3 days of sight seeing planned and then 3 days open. I guess I'll find some phone numbers and make some calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishingking Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This time of year most are fishing cod off Montauk (eastern end of Long Island) this is 2 hr 45 to 3 hrs from NYC. Most of the boats around NYC go out of Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn I believe this time of year for flounder?? I would do a google search and see what you find or noreast.com . I have only fished NY salt with the Captree Princess out of south shore long island about 1.5 hrs from NYC (although I think they are in Montauk Cod fishing this time of year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popriveter Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm going to try visiting Sheepshead Bay tomorrow morning and see what is there for options. After 3 days of concrete, I can't wait for some water. I'll post my findings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popriveter Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I took a party boat out of Sheepshead Bay on Thursday. Fishing was slow but steady. The boat took about a dozen cod, about a dozen dogfish, a decent number of ling (maybe an average of 4-6 per person), one mackerel and a few blackfish. It was great to meet a bunch of nice people and enjoy some warm (though foggy) weather. Thanks, New York! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DREZLER Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Maybe I'm just weird but doesn't that pic look like it's from the seventies (including some of the people in in)?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popriveter Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 It does look like it was from the seventies, but I sure wasn't this old back then. The sea was so calm that I couldn't imagine having trouble with it, but one young woman hurled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
