Western Long Island Sound offers a distinctive coastal playground where saltwater meets shoreline, creating prime conditions for bottom fishing. Angler Fleet, based out of Port Washington, New York, provides an inviting gateway to these productive waters through its signature 4 Hour Fluke and Porgy trip. This four-hour excursion is purpose-built for anglers of all experience levels, making it especially popular with families seeking a hands-on introduction to saltwater fishing in a comfortable, supportive environment.
The trip centers around bottom fishing for two standout species: Fluke and Porgy. Fluke, also known as summer flounder, is prized in the region for its firm, sweet flesh, while Porgy offers a robust flavor and spirited fight on the line. Angler Fleet’s knowledgeable crew ensures every participant gets expert guidance—whether it’s rigging gear, locating schools, or perfecting casting techniques. The boat ventures into nutrient-rich areas dotted with natural rocky outcrops and sandbars where these species congregate.
Angler Fleet’s commitment to a family-friendly experience sets it apart in the Western Long Island Sound scene. Not only do they provide rods, tackle, and bait, but the crew also fillets your catch at no extra charge, letting you take home fresh, ready-to-cook seafood. This attention to service, combined with the scenic backdrop of calm waters fringed by Long Island’s varied coastal habitats, makes the outing more than a fishing trip—it’s a memorable outdoor adventure.
Port Washington is an accessible launch point located roughly 30 miles from New York City, offering a convenient retreat into a dynamic maritime environment. Beyond fishing, the area’s coastal breeze, seabird activity, and occasional seal sightings contribute to a rich natural setting.
