Night Fishing in NYC

Evening is often a prime time for fishing in NYC. The cooler temperatures bring fish close to the surface to feed and make them extremely active. Heading out on a fishing boat in the evening can also be more enjoyable with the cooler temperatures and a stunning view of the NYC skyline throughout your trip.

Marilyn Jean Fishing offers midnight fishing trips for striped bass, porgy, and bluefish trips throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Our trips depart from Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn and travel to several of the best fishing locations around NYC. Book your tickets today to enjoy an exciting night of fishing.

Porgy and Striped Bass Night Fishing Experiences in NYC on the Marilyn Jean

Marilyn Jean Fishing provides the leading NYC party boat fishing trips in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, Long Island and beyond. We have a range of different trips occurring all year long, including our night fishing trips almost every night of the week in fishing seasons when porgy, striped bass, and bluefish are active.

Trips begin from our dock in Sheepshead Bay, located in Brooklyn and depart at 7:30. From there, we go to different locations that are ideal for saltwater fishing, such as:

  • Jamaica Bay
  • Raritan Bay
  • Rockaway Beach
  • Sandy Hook Bay
  • Coney Island, and More

As we travel out through New York Harbor, you get to see the skyline of NYC and all the local bridges, lighthouse, and other features lit up at night which is sure to be a thrilling and memorable view whether you are a New York native or a visitor to the city.

Once we reach the first destination, the true experience begins as you cast your line. Our experienced captain is able to spot promising fishing locations, often giving our customers red hot fishing while they are out on the Marilyn Jean and increasing the chances that you will reel in a fantastic catch.

What to Know for Your NYC Night Fishing Trip

We have fishing rods and reels available to rent for $5. We also have tackle available to purchase or you can bring your own, in which case the following is recommended:

  • 4 to 10 oz Lead Sinkers
  • 20 to 50 lb Test Line
  • Jigs

Additionally, we provide bait and buckets, as well as a fish cleaning for any fish you will take home. Although we are handling the fish, you are encouraged to bring a cooler for any snacks and drinks you may want while on board. There will be ample space to spread out on our roomy decks while you enjoy fishing with your party all evening.

Because temperatures can drop after the sun goes down and our midnight porgy fishing trip can go late, you may also want to bring extra clothes in case you need additional layers. We have interior cabin space as well if you need to warm up or get out of the wind while we travel.
