Around 80 miles as the crow flies from the towering skyscrapers of Manhattan, you will find surprisingly prolific tuna fishing grounds off the coast of Long Island, New York. Captain Don Archer, owner and captain of Fin Alley Fishing Charters out of Shinnecock, is one of the finest captains in Long Island and your best bet in the area for a successful tuna fishing trip.
Leaving from the Hampton Bays area, the fishing grounds extend south, where tuna and other big game can be found 40 miles or less from shore, often in surprisingly shallow water. Prime season is June – September.
Although many different fish species have come over the rails of Fin Alley, Captain Archer focuses primarily on pelagics, specifically tuna. Three tuna species are commonly caught – bluefin, yellowfin and bigeye tuna. In addition, on any given day you’ve also got a shot at mahi, swordfish, mako sharks, and even marlin.
Fin Alley is a 43’ Tiara that is built for this type of fishing. You’ll find all the latest equipment and top quality gear, as well as a comfortable air conditioned cabin with restroom. A typical summer trip is a 9 hour offshore run that begins early in the morning and usually ends in the late afternoon with sore arms and a fish box full of fresh tuna.
So if you’re visiting Long Island, or maybe you’re a NY/NJ/CT resident dreaming of a tuna fishing trip to an exotic location – you don’t have to travel far! Cancel the plane tickets, skip the long drive to Montauk, and experience the finest Long Island fishing aboard Fin Alley.
