Spend the day with Mudslides Charters and find out what the fishing in Branford is all about! With Captain Steve at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

This season we've added a second boat to offer more fishing options and greater flexibility.  The Mudpuppy is 22.5' EdgeWater Center Console and can get you out fishing quickly and move to other spots with ease. A new Garmin electric trolling motor has been added to get us into the trickiest and tightest fishing spots quickly and stay over productive spots without having to spend extra time anchoring and swinging off them. There's a porta-potty on board for your convenience.

These waters are known for Tautog, Bluefish, Black Seabass, Striped Bass, Scup (Porgy), Weakfish, Flounder, Dogfish, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time.  And with the new Mudpuppy, you'll spend more time fishing and less time getting there.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children also need life vests, and all appropriate sizes are available on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Mudslides Charters has got your fishing license taken care of, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Drinking water is included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Mudslides Charters on the Mudpuppy!

    GREA TRIP! EVEN BETTER CAPTAIN

    6-Hour Fishing Trip - Inshore on May 2, 2026 • 6 adults

    Couldn’t recommend captain Steve enough, we went as a group of six and an early season striper trip quickly turned into fish up to 42”. Captain Steve was very passionate, and knowledgeable. Clean boat, brand new equipment. Thanks Captain Steve!
