Karen Ann Charters

Brooklyn, New York, US

About Us

fishing charter, live bait, fleet of boats to accommodate all of your needs and budgets, private charters, open boats, shared charters, half and full day charters, eco tours and sight seeing priced upon request,

Our striped bass charters are unlike any other charter you have experienced. Our preparations begin 2 hours before you arrive to the boat. We fish with live bait such as Bunker, Herring and Mullet that we must catch before each trip. Consequently, a great deal of work is put into each of our charters making it a truly unique experience. Great catches of "trophy" striped bass make all the effort worth it. Upon request, we can have you come aboard with us to catch bunker before your charter, which can be quite an experience if you've never seen it done.

The waters of Jamaica bay, when the time and season are right hold trophy size fish; most notably striped bass. The bay in springtime is alive as bait moves into the bay and big fish forage on them. Here is where the Karen Ann begins to stalk its quarry. You will experience first hand what live-lining is all about. Herring, bunker, eels and other baitfish will be used to get you that fish for the wall, that's what I like to call our meat and potatoes fishing, ''big baits, big tide, big fish''.

​

However, live-lining isn't our only forte, and diversity pays off. Purist light tackle buffs and fly-rodders now benefit from our knowledge. The back-bay holds many haunts for fish and our sleek new skiff gives speed and access to all these spots. Our new addition has all the goodies; live well, custom casting platform, and state of the art electronics all enabling you the angler to pursue your adversary, truly memorable fishing.
