When it comes to innovating new techniques and adjusting to different species, Captain James has tremendous skills. Harvesting North Shore Fluke since the early 70’s with his father and commercial hook & line fisherman Bob Schneider has given Captain James the instincts and experience to hunt down giant Fluke.

Never hesitate to ask the Captain for advice he is always willing to teach, especially kids.

We met the guys that operate this boat while docked in Huntington. We had our own boat. I was impressed, and would go out with them in a heartbeat– they were telling us stories about past trips, and expressed how their top priority is safety, fun, and being fair to everyone. They were super friendly, and gave us tips on our own boat, which was having issues at the time, and actually helped us to repair it quick. I feel confident when I say, they know what they’re doing — take a trip with them !!! And, enjoy !!!
Very knowledgable, and absolutely best in the area. My BF has been fishing for years, and was impressed with what they were telling us …
Oh, and if you like dogs, they have the cutest 1 year old black lab. Great guys !

Great experience and fun time! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Bring your own food and beverages, not much on board.

And a great time was had by all!
My son and I took the 4:30 boat mid week, the boat was about 60 percent full we had plenty of room on the rail. It was a beautiful evening with an exceptional sunset.
We were going for Bluefish and did very well. We hit a large school and had non stop action, the fish were in the 6−14lb range my son and I landed 8 fish.
We lost 4or 5, the action was non stop.
The crew was excellent! They really enjoy what they do and were very helpful. My son and I fish frequently and the crew adjusted their answers to match the knowledge of the fishermen. I really can’t stress the helpfulness of the staff.
On the return the fish were cleaned and bagged the only thing left for you to do is cook them and they offered tips on that! They earned their tips and I gladly tipped more than usual.
I highly recommend a trip on the Captain Joseph

James Joseph is one of the few charter boats in the (North shore) Huntington area. It was PACKED like a sardine can on a Sunday afternoon. Before, during and after… all three day trips. Be ready to be elbow to elbow with fellow fishermen (and fisher ladies).
The staff on the boat was competent and prompt, always ready to help you pull up a fish or untangle your hooks when you were catching other humans instead of fish. The Captain of the boat was exceedingly nice and let us come up stairs and play with their sweet black lab puppy. He was kept up in the cabin most of the time but gosh, was he adorable. Everyone was gushing over him (how could you not?).
Expect to be pulling up fluke, sea robins, the occasional crab and each other’s lines. My only real complaint about the trip is that we sat in certain spots for a long duration of time when no one was pulling anything up at all. On some of the other boats I’ve been on they’ll scurry around a bit more. Oh, well.
Cost is on par with other party boats ($ 40) and they wont bat an eye if you choose to sip some adult beverages while you’re catching your dinner (or trying to)…

Can’t really beat a nice 4-​hour fishing trip on the LI Sound! Who knew there are fishing charters on the north shore? Typically, fishing requires a trip to Freeport, but not anymore! The JJII runs right out of Huntington Harbor.
Typical charter stuff they provide:
bods
bait
small snack bar
allow you to bring food and bevvies
help you with snags
clean your catch!
Cost is $ 40 for 4hrs. Do it.

UYE: Landlubbers Unite on the James Joseph II — Huntington New York.
Our fellow Unilocaler, Marissa, painstakingly planned this unofficial event on 20 July 14.
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a Unilocaly trip, that started from this local port, aboard this tiny ship.
The planner was a mighty Unilocaling gal, the CM brave and sure, 10 Unilocalersons set sail that day for a four hour tour, a four hour tour.
The weather started getting rough, the Unilocalers ‘cookies’ were tossed, If not for the kindness of the fearless team, the event would be lost. The event would be lost.
So this is the tale of our Unilocalaways, they fished for a long, long time. They had to make the best of things, it was an uphill climb.
No fluke, no bass, just sea robins,
not a single keeper for me,
Thank G-​d I have my Unilocal app,
A Fish Market is down the street!
So poles down mates, it’s getting late! The crew is a helpful lot. They stood by me and taught me well but i just couldn’t hit the spot. I just couldn’t hit the spot.
PS– I had a great time!

My first time in this fleet for black fishing, very knowledgeable crew, helpful all the time, they have 5 crew helping and when everyone start to hooking up some fish the captain will come and help you unhook your catch, definitely will come back, at least I got some fish for dinner.

Friends in town– check… wake up at the crack of o” dark hundred– check… Trash talking about who is going to catch the biggest, first, most delicious fish– check. We opted for the early time to fish so we could have a full day afterwards but here’s the skinny on the schedule:
7−11am Sea bass, flounder, and porgies
12−4pm sea bass, flounder, and porgies
4:30– 8:30pm Striped bass and Bluefish
Price is $ 45.00 for adults but look for a coupon from any of their competitors and they’ll honor it to save five dollars. A pool on the boat for the largest fish that’s in season and let the fun begin! They bring you right to the fish and supply all of the poles and bait you’ll need. Catch one and the nearest deck hand will come to remove the hook and add your catch to your bucket. In a little over two hours our party of four was able to fill nearly to the top a five gallon bucket. We ate like kings and queens that night.
Bonus:
The very knowledgeable and friendly deck hands will clean your fish for free. But after seeing how beautifully they clean your fish, you better tip them extra well. They offered us tips on baking some of our fish and making ceviche.
