Lazy Bones

Favorite Montauk charter, always friendly, always fun!

Becareful call the day before to make sure they are sailing. Called them to make a reservation, you leave your name and number so they can call you back. Which they did, made reservations a week in advance, but they never called me back again to say they were not sailing. Drove 2 ½ hours to find out they weren’t sailing. They dropped the ball on this one very disappointed. Next time I guess it is up to the customer to call them.

This boat rocks. You will catch some real keepers. The deckhand Rebecca is very knowledgeable and nice.
I went with my boss and we caught quite a few stripers and blues.

Been fishing Montauk for years. This is the place to go to for half day fluke trips.
Went a few times already this summer and caught plenty of fish.
Awesome staff, great boat to fish and be on.

I am a huge fan of fishing on the Lazy Bones. The crew is great, helpful and patient. I’m not an experienced fisher and I was able to catch 6 fish! If you are easily skeeved they will do all the nitty gritty stuff. Definitely take a trip out if you’re in Montauk.

On October 27^th, 2012, my 21 year old son and I went out on the boat from Montauk. It was a 65 degree day and although the town was empty, the boat had about 25 people ready to fish for blues and stripers on the 1PM to 5 PM jigging trip.
WHAT AN AMAZING DAY!
The boat caught about fifty big blues in the first hour and after the second hour, we all were doing the catch and release because we had so many fish each. The boat must have caught about 200 blues. We followed the churning water and Seagulls just off the coast of the lighthouse and for the first time ever I learned what people meant when they said that as soon as they dropped their line a fish was on. I caught 18 big blues, (yes 18) and my son caught 8. What an amazing time. The crew were very helpful and we had enjoyable time. The stripers were scarce but the amount of Blue fish and the fight they put up was well worth the trip. I would recommend using the Lazy Bones over any of the other charters and their price was alot cheaper than the Viking Fleet, which cancelled my reservation the night before I was supposed to go out fishing, and after I had already booked two nights at the Royal Atlantic. Peace.

Just spent this past Monday out on the Lazy Bones for my Dad’s 60^th. It was so much fun and the captain and crew are awesome! Friendly, down to earth and really know their shit ;) ½ day trips going on for bass and blues right now. No other charter I’d rather go on. Worth heading out there for! They will make sure to take good care of you out there and at the end of the day if your lucky enough to catch a bass (the way my uncle did) they will do the dirty work for you. Hands down Best Charter!

I have fished Montauk since I was 8. This is a good boat which caters to families yet he will still put you on the fish. It’s a family run boat with good mates and they won’t tolerate some of Montauks saltier behaviors. I ‘ve pulled in a 9.5 lb blackfish as well as scores of bluefish and fluke. The other good reason is he runs 2 trips so I can go fishing in the morning yet I can get back to the wife for lunch and not have to hear her complain like I ditched her. lol. This is the choice if you have a family and want to take the kids fishing.

I’ve never felt as excited/​proud/​disgusted/​shocked as I did on Lazy Bones when I caught my first Bluefish — what an experience. I spent a day on Lazy Bones this past month and had one of the most fun days I’ve had in a long time! The mates were super helpful, teaching me how to diamond jig, how to reel and how to cast my line out (although I ended up failing miserably at casting). They sort of adopted me as their little first-​timer and really showed me the ropes. I ended up catching 2 bluefish and they were patient enough with me to allow me to take a picture with each fish :)
We spent a half day on the boat, caught 3 fish and had a great day on the water. If you’re looking for a great fishing day, head out on Lazy Bones in late September or October — beautiful out there at this time of year.
