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 visiting for a fishing trip. If you’re in Brooklyn – or anywhere in New York City – then you know what makes fishing off the coast of Brooklyn so worthwhile. But what about visitors? Why would someone in PA or in NJ want to visit us in Brooklyn for a fishing trip?
- The Fish – We know the best spots here, and there are SO many delicious fish. Every season is different, of course, but between blackfish, porgy, cod, fluke – all some of the tastiest fish available, and often caught in HUGE numbers. Again, we can’t make guarantees, as there are good days and bad days like all fishing, but if you look at our fishing reports, you’ll see how many times people walk away with more fish than they can eat in months.
- The View – NYC is a beautiful skyline, and certainly much different than you get when you’re out in the middle of nowhere. You get to see the tall buildings while you’re above beautiful water. During our night fishing adventures, you can typically see the lights of the city in the background, since NYC never sleeps.
- The Backups – Let’s say that you don’t catch the fish you want. Not to worry! Back on the coast, there are typically individuals selling fresh versions of all the fish you wanted in season. Brooklyn has a lot of people that adore fishing Sheepshead Bay, and are selling their catches back on land.
- More Community – Similarly, while there’s a calmness to heading out on calm, empty water on your own, you can do that anywhere. If you want a community of people that love fishing, you get that here in Brooklyn and Sheepshead Bay, where you’re going to see a lot of people out on the water having a great time with friends and family.
Plus, we’re here! And if you want a great fishing experience, Marilyn Jean Charters always gives you and your friends something to remember.
We may not be on the water yet, but we’re getting there, and we hope you join us! We take out many, many locals, but we want you to know that no matter where you’re from, we’re confident that you’ll have a great time.
