About Porgy

One of the most popular pan fish in the Northeast. Porgies are found near structure, wrecks, and hard bottom from the Chesapeake Bay to New England. They are aggressive biters that provide fun light-tackle action and are excellent pan-fried or grilled. Known scientifically as Stenotomus chrysops.

Porgy hold in inshore/nearshore, typically running 0.5-3 lbs on the rod, with a fight rated light, and table fare considered very good.

Porgy charters on Party Boats USA depart from Connecticut, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. Each coast has its own water, ports, and seasonal rhythm, so the best trip for you depends on where you are starting from and what kind of fishing day you want.

Also known as: Scup, Northern Porgy, Scuppaug, Porgies
