Sound Bound Charters offers a distinctive fishing experience in the heart of Long Island Sound, launching from New Rochelle, New York. Their latest offering, the 120-foot Sound Bound Princess Sunset Porgies expedition, invites families and anglers of all skill levels to engage in an accessible yet rewarding fishing trip targeting Porgy and Sea Bass. Long Island Sound itself is a broad tidal estuary, framed by Connecticut and New York’s southern shorelines, known for its relatively calm waters that provide perfect conditions for inshore fishing. The Sound’s diverse marine habitats—rockpiles, submerged wrecks, and structured bottom formations—serve as prime real estate for Porgy and Sea Bass, two species prized for their spirited fight and superb flavor.
This trip is more than just fishing; it’s an evening immersed in the marine rhythm, where the vibrant colors of sunset ripple across the water’s surface and the occasional seabird skims overhead. Sound Bound Charters includes clams for bait and provides worms on private charters, lowering the barrier for parents introducing children to the sport. Porgies, typically weighing between one and three-plus pounds, are voracious feeders and put up a strong, thrilling fight—making each catch a memorable victory. Sea Bass share the same grounds and bait preferences, adding variety to the experience and often exceeding expectations in taste and abundance.
Sound Bound Charters stands out in the New York coastal recreation scene by combining expertly guided trips with a family-friendly approach on their spaciously equipped vessel. The boat’s full galley and options to bring your own food and beverages make it comfortable and accommodating for groups aiming for a relaxed yet active outing. With private charters available, this isn’t just a fishing trip—it’s a customizable evening on the water that connects visitors to the unique marine environment of Long Island Sound, fostering appreciation for its ecosystems while delivering lively action on the line.
