Why Choose Kingfisher for Your Mystic Fishing Trip?

While there are many things to do in Mystic, nothing beats the thrill of reeling in a monster catch. We are centrally located to provide unparalleled access to the most productive fishing grounds in the area, including The Race and Plum Gut.

Here is what sets us apart:

  • Live Bait Specialists: We are one of the only charter boats in the area that regularly fishes with live bait (bunker). This specialized technique is exactly how we consistently hook trophy-sized Striped Bass (including over 30 fish topping 50lbs!) and massive Bluefish.
  • Fast & Comfortable Ride: Our 28' Hydra Sports walkaround gets you to the fishing grounds twice as fast as most other local charters. Powered by quiet, clean twin Suzuki outboards, you'll cruise at 30 knots without any smelly diesel fumes. Learn more about our vessel on our Boat & Equipment page.

Expert Local Knowledge: With over 45 years of fishing experience and 26 years operating this charter, you are in expert hands. Read more about The Captain and his passion for big bait and big fish.
