Capt. Joe Wenegenofsky - Bloodline Sportfishing
Capt. Joe Wenegenofsky is a United States Coast Guard licensed 200 Ton Master and has been logging serious time on the water since he could barely walk. His Montauk fishing career developed early on as an avid surfcaster wetsuiting the rock strew shoreline in pursuit of cow bass, and a spearfisherman freediving the many reefs and rips of Block Island Sound. Eventually, he applied the intimate knowledge accumulated in these areas to a floating platform and the rest has been history. His “inside and out” familiarity with the Montauk fishing grounds and the species calling them home has translated to a fresh perspective and unique set of tactics that consistently produce impressive catches for his customers. When he’s not chartered, Capt. Joe spends his time pinhooking (commercial rod and reel fishing) on the Bloodline or moonlighting aboard any number of draggers, longliners, gillnetters or sea scallopers. He’s also a former associate editor and East End field editor for The Fisherman Magazine, and not the least bit bashful about stepping up to a podium to offer seminar talks during the off season. Simply put, Capt. Joe lives to fish and thrives on taking fellow anglers under his wing.
