On December 8th my wife recieved her then last MRI of her brain. It didnt go well and we were  told to call Hospice . I quickly said we are not giving up. Though conventional medicine had no more to offer us we found a clinical  trial drug in Houston Texas  which unfortunately is not covered by insurance, so it roughly costs us 20k per month. That is the reason for the GoFundMe page. As for running fishing trips. I basically cannot leave the house . Joanne cannot walk, wears diapers, and cannot feed  herself, but I am happy to spend so much time with her especially on her good days.

Please support our mission toward healing by donating today

Thank you 

Captain Joe Shastay

INCLEMENT WEATHER: only the captain can decide if the weather is unsafe . I’ve done over 3000 of these trips. I keep it safe. Even when there is a hurricane and the news is scaring people NY Harbor is not the Atlantic Ocean. It is very protected from storm waves and much of the wind.

RAIN IN FORECAST: Generally I do not cancel any trips if the chance of rain DURING THE ACTUAL HOURS OF THE TRIP is less than 60%.  For example: Your trip is 9am to 12noon .. At 10am the forecast calls for 60% chance of rain . You can cancel. However, this determination will be done no longer than 4 hours before your scheduled start time.( This means we cant look at the forecast the day before your trip) It is not accurate enough.

I’ve been  fishing New York Harbor, the East River, and the waters around Manhattan Island as a Charter Boat Captain for over 30 years. My name is Captain Joe Shastay.  Personally I am approaching over 3500 charters.

Bio: Captain Joe Shastay, grew up in Jersey City on the shores of the Hudson River, where at age 5 his dad started him fishing from those shores.

As a teen he probed those shores, digging up bait from the marshes, exploring the shoreline in a series of water-craft from oar powered rubber rafts to his present day 23 foot sea worthy Mako center console. While finishing his Biology degree with an emphasis on Fisheries, Captain Joe worked for an Environmental company called Normandeau  Associates, where he could be found tagging, measuring, and aging Striped Bass from the waters surrounding Manhattan. Another N.Y. State run study involved safely pumping the stomachs of 200 hundred Striped Bass to gain knowledge of their dietary preferences in the Hudson river and the New York Harbor estuary.

Also working as the Fire Captain, on Jersey City’s Fire boat “Lovero” Captain Joe is constantly on the NYC harbor waters. Which equates to a safe, knowledgeable, productive trip for you

The areas that we fish read like a sightseer’s handbook: The Statue of Liberty , where we’ll be catching 28″ – 38″ stripers; and, in front of The United Nations Building, we’ll catch a mix of Bass and Blues with bottom and top water action. The panoramic view of the city is simply incredible. The Brooklyn Bridge, The South Street Seaport and Ellis Island are all within a cast length with our guided tours.

 My tours not only give you the sight seeing . You also get 12 fishing rods to choose from, bait, lures, bottled water..
