When we bring people out on our boats, they can sometimes take home a LOT of fish. Even one fish can be enough to feed a family for a few days, yet in some cases our guests catch even more. If you’re taking 2, 3, 4, even 5+ fish home, it’s going to be a […]

We’re still in the offseason as we prep our boat for the year ahead. But fishing season opens in only a short amount of time, and that means it’s time for you to consider fishing with Marilyn Jean here off the dock in Brooklyn. But why Brooklyn? This is mostly directed at anyone thinking about

It’s that time of year again. We’re in the process of giving the boat its annual cleaning and updating, to make sure that it’s ready for the upcoming fishing season. This time of year is always bittersweet, because while our staff gets a nice rest, and the boat gets a deep clean, we do miss

The last day of Blackfishing in NYC is December 22nd, so if you’ve been delaying blackfishing on the waters around the city, make sure you book your tickets today. We are going to be doing one last big blackfish pool at that time starting at 6am and coming back around 4pm – an all day

We’re already in December and the fish just keep biting. We had spectacular blackfishing today, even better than normal. The morning bite was the highlight, with excellent returns for all the guests that came aboard. There were loads of blackfish, with a bunch of shorts and keepers in the mix. Note: We found that white

We continue to sail daily here on the Marilyn Jean, and – even though we’re now in the late November months – we’re still seeing some good bites. Over the past few days, blackfishing has been hit and miss, but mostly hit. There are days where we’re seeing more shorts than we are keepers, but

At this point, you’ve probably noticed a theme with our fishing reports – the porgies… the porgies are good, man. Really, really good. We might even be running out of things to say about them a little bit, because our guests keep catching more and more porgies with each passing trip, and you need to

Once again, we took our guests out on the water, and once again, the results were incredible. We’re talking “Super Porgies.” Okay, maybe the Porgy themselves were not superheroes (although if Marvel steals the idea, you know where it came from), but our guests caught a lot of them, and they were biting hard all

At Marilyn Jean Fishing, we don’t take days off, and it’s a good thing we didn’t. Porgy fishing on both our day and night trips was legitimately incredible. We’re talking huge porgies, with action that seemed like it was non-stop at times and an incredible number of catches, with many of our guests reaching their

The last three days have been a incredible, and that’s been AFTER a week of near equally incredible fishing. On the 12th, we hit a full boat limit of porgies AND even hit some bluefish while we were out there. The 13th and 14th were just as wild, with porgies biting so often that some people had
