Boats That Fish for Fluke in New York
Fluke Fishing in New York
The state's extensive party boat fleet makes this one of the most accessible fluke fisheries anywhere, with boats running daily trips from ports just a short drive from New York City.
The South Shore is the heart of New York fluking. Party boats out of Captree, Freeport, and Sheepshead Bay drift the inshore waters, channels, and near-shore structure where fluke stack up during summer. These trips are perfect for families and beginners, with experienced mates on hand to help with rigging, bait selection, and technique. The Captree fleet in particular has a long tradition of quality fluke fishing that goes back decades.
