Award-Winning Connecticut Fishing Charters from Old Saybrook

 

Striped Bass Fishing in Long Island Sound

striped bass long island sound old saybrook ctLong Island Sound offers some of the best striped bass fishing in Connecticut, with peak seasons running from May through October. Our Old Saybrook charters target striped bass using proven techniques based on local conditions.

Islander Sport Fishing Charters delivers the real fishing experience you’ve been looking for—right here in Old Saybrook. We offer professional, award-winning guided fishing trips with Captain Wayne, a licensed U.S. Coast Guard Captain and merchant marine officer with a Master’s Certificate. With decades of success fishing the Connecticut River, Long Island Sound, and offshore waters, Captain Wayne knows exactly where to put you on the fish.  Please contact Wayne to find out what’s biting and to book your next fishing charter with an expert Connecticut fishing captain.

Captain Wayne has placed in multiple tournaments across Connecticut and runs one of the only charters in the area offering offshore tuna and shark trips. Our smaller, faster Islander II boat with twin diesels is designed to get you to the tuna grounds—sometimes 50 to 80 miles offshore—quickly, safely, and affordably.

Why go offshore with us? The tuna bite is fast-moving and unpredictable, and we move with it. That’s why a fast boat matters—when the bite’s hot, we go now.

Whether you're chasing striped bass, bluefish, or offshore giants, Islander is the one charter you have to take if you're serious about fishing.
