The Kingfisher fishing charter boat is a 2001 Hydra Sports walkaround, with a cuddy cabin and full bathroom. Powered by clean and quiet twin 2017 250 Suzuki outboards, the deep V hull cuts through choppy waters and cruises at 30 Knots.
I am a U.S.C.G. licensed CT fishing charter captain and co-owner/operator of Kingfisher Charters the past 20 years. I have been fishing Long Island sound and the surrounding waters for the past 40 years. A life- long fisherman, my extensive experience includes catching inshore local species (Striped Bass, Bluefish, Fluke, Sea Bass, Scup, and Blackfish), offshore species (Tuna, Shark, Marlin, Mahi-Mahi, and Wahoo), and fish from the waters of the Caribbean and Central America (Tarpon, Snook, Sailfish, Grouper, Snapper, Barracuda and many others).
Half day and full day sportfishing trips also include catching tasty Fluke, Sea Bass, Scup, and Blackfish. A 28’ Hydra Sports powered by twin 250 Suzuki outboards gets you to the fishing grounds quickly and quietly (without any smelly diesel fumes).
The Preferred fishing equipment used on the Kingfisher includes Diawa Sealine high speed and Penn Squal conventional reels for bottom fishing along with Diawa Saltist and Penn reels for casting. All reels are loaded with Power Pro braid in the 20-65lb rating. Rods are made by Tsunami, Shakespeare, and Penn. We use the lightest gear that will also stand up to the exceptionally larger fish we target.
