Captain Stu runs a phenomenal operation - one of my favorite small businesses on Long Island. We…read morehave participated in his fishing camp and we hosted our son's 10th birthday on Sashimi and both were great experiences and a fantastic value for all the kids learn and do. The captain and crew and knowledgeable and kind, safety-minded and get" kids and the boat is immaculate! And no one comes home empty handed--at both camp and the birthday party, everyone went home with fresh, cleaned, delicious fish! We can't wait for the 2023 camp season!!

We had the opportunity to get a charter with Captain Stu in early November. Upon arrival Captain…read moreStu and the first mate were ready to go and were prepped for the trip. After we left the dock The captain went over safety instructions as well as an itinerary for the trip. On this particular trip we were going for Blackfish, as the time of year offered. The "Sashimi" proved to be up to the task, as it is a well maintained and clean vessel with a toilet (head) on board. Within 40 minutes of leaving Northport Harbor, we were off the coast of Connecticut and on the fish. Captain Stu gave a brief tutorial with explanation of what kind of fish we were fishing for, the type of bait used and good technique for this type of fishing. This was helpful, as there were some novice fisherman on board who appreciated the instruction and one on one tutoring. The bait was prepped and ready to roll and both the mate and Captain Stu himself were attentive to helping bait hooks and unhook fish. Once we were "on the fish", Captain Stu would give tips and tricks of the trade to help enhance the fishing experience. On the way back to Long Island, the catch was cleaned and bagged , ready for some seasoning and eventually the grill, the fryer,or the oven. Overall, I would recommend a charter with Captain Stu and the "Sashimi" From beginning to end, he and his "crew" were courteous and well prepared and conducted themselves and the vessel in a professional manner. This is a great alternative if you want to get out and fish but don't want the big charter boat (we had 8 people).The bottom line might be a little more than the big charters, but the personalized fishing experience is worth the extra cost.

I must say fishing with Ernest Fernandez fishing buddies of America was one of the best experiences…read moreI could have ever had. We caught fish after fish after fish. He made certain that we were fed always providing a box of Popeye chicken with biscuits giving us a bottle of water and soda and walking around the boat asking is everyone okay. Fishing buddies of America has seen a lot of members come and a lot of members go. I was very happy to be a part of a fishing trip that took place in North Carolina on a 24-hour fishing vessel where we caught lots of Vermilion snappers the size limit and the limit for two days as well as Grunt and triggerfish. It was my first experience and a great one. It's sad to say though in 2018 Mr Ernest Fernandez passed away. He does have friends of fishing buddies of America who are running their own charters as a matter of fact there is a trip on June 9th the boat is almost full will be a dedication to miss the earnest Fernandez will we will dedicate to the sea memories of mr. Fernandez. I think that is a great way to pay homage to him. We will also fish on this day in memory of mr. Fernandez for one of his favorite fish porgies. I can see the smile on this man face now catching two parties at one time. Nonetheless great man and a great time I had with him fishing with fishing buddies of America tightlines forever mr. Fernandez
