Spring Striped Bass is ON FIRE RIGHT NOW!

June Striped Bass Fishing Is On Fire Aboard Sand City Charter – Book Your Adventure Today!

As June kicks off with some of the best striped bass fishing of the season, a lot of 30-pound, 40-plus-inch fish are thumping on the deck of Sand City Charter! The spring migration is in full swing, bait is stacked up throughout the Long Island Sound, and the fishing action has been nothing short of incredible.

If you’re searching for fishing near me or the best fishing Huntington experience on Long Island, now is the time to get on the water with Captain Gaige Simon and First Mate Kory. Whether you’re a seasoned angler chasing your next trophy striped bass or a first-time fisherman looking for an unforgettable day on the water, Sand City Charter offers a fun, family-friendly fishing experience that everyone can enjoy.

One of the things that makes Sand City Charter different is that we make fishing easy. Every trip includes all the fishing gear you’ll need, bait, tackle, and even your New York fishing license for the day. Simply show up ready to fish and we’ll handle the rest. We also keep our built-in onboard cooler stocked with complimentary soft drinks for all guests to enjoy throughout the trip.

Our private fishing charters run daily throughout the season and are perfect for families, friends, corporate outings, or anyone looking to experience some of the best striped bass fishing Long Island has to offer. Private trips allow your group to have the entire boat to yourselves while we customize the trip around your fishing goals.

In addition to our private charters, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be running an Open Boat Trip at least once every week throughout the summer. Open boat trips are a great way for individual anglers or small groups to get out fishing without having to book the entire boat. It’s also a fantastic way to meet fellow anglers and experience the Sand City Charter atmosphere at an affordable price.

Just weeks away from Summer 2026, we’re gearing up for some of our favorite fishing of the year. With a New Moon on June 15th and a Full Moon on June 30th, the stage is set for outstanding trophy striped bass action. These moon phases traditionally create stronger tidal movement, which often leads to some of the best feeding opportunities of the season.

To take advantage of these prime conditions, we’ll be running special late-evening and nighttime striped bass trips. During these trips, we’ll position the boat on productive structure throughout the Long Island Sound and fish live bait and fresh chunks for trophy bass. There is nothing quite like hearing the clicker scream under the stars as a giant striped bass makes a powerful run.

The Long Island Sound continues to produce quality fish this season, and many of our recent trips have seen multiple fish over 40 inches come over the rail. The combination of abundant bait, favorable water temperatures, and strong tidal movement has created some truly exceptional fishing opportunities.

When people search online for fishing charters near me, Huntington fishing charters, striped bass fishing Long Island, or fishing Huntington Harbor, we want Sand City Charter to be the first name that comes to mind. Our goal is simple: provide a safe, fun, professional fishing experience while helping our guests catch fish and create memories that last a lifetime.

Whether you’re looking to book a private charter, join an open boat trip, or target a trophy striped bass under the moonlight this summer, we’d love to have you aboard.

Come join Captain Gaige Simon and First Mate Kory for the Sand City Experience. The fish are here, the bite is on, and your next fishing adventure is waiting.

Book your trip today and see why so many anglers choose Sand City Charter for the ultimate Huntington fishing experience.

 
 

Why This Spring Run Could Be One of the Best

Year after year, we track water temperatures, bait movement, and seasonal trends across the Long Island Sound. When we get a colder winter like this past one, it typically sets the stage for a more productive spring fishery.

We’re already seeing early signs of life in nearby waters, and as temperatures begin to rise, the striped bass will push into our local grounds in full force. That means more opportunities for action-packed trips, bent rods, and unforgettable days on the water.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler chasing a trophy bass or bringing the family out for a fun day on the water, this spring is shaping up to deliver.

Huntington’s Premier Private Fishing Charter

At Sand City Fishing Charter, we take pride in being known as Huntington’s premier private charter. Our reputation speaks for itself, backed by outstanding Google reviews and client testimonials from anglers who return year after year.

We focus on providing a personalized, high-quality experience for every trip. This isn’t a crowded party boat—this is your private charter, tailored to your group, your goals, and your day on the water.

From the moment you step on board, you’ll see the difference. We’re prepared, professional, and committed to making sure you have an incredible time.

Top-of-the-Line Gear & Proven Techniques

One of the things that sets Sand City apart is our attention to detail when it comes to gear and preparation. We use some of the best and lightest tackle available, giving you the advantage when targeting striped bass.

Our setups are designed to maximize performance while keeping things fun and comfortable for anglers of all skill levels. Whether we’re live lining bunker, casting topwater, or working artificial lures, we’re always adapting to what the fish are doing to give you the best shot at success.
