Captain Mark Ryckman began his fishing career plying the waters of Shinnecock Bay in his youth while eventually running his own local business in East Quogue, Long Island.
|
|
He quickly struck an acquaintance with a varied cross section of seasoned veterans who had success commercially and recreationally fishing both inshore and offshore of Shinnecock Inlet and Montauk. |
|
Mating aboard these boats for locally respected Captains led him to pursue his own path, having gained a great local fishing education, especially in Montauk. |
|
On his Regulator sportfishing boat, and later his fully rigged 42' Provincial Novi-built, Captain Mark logged many hours between Shinnecock and Montauk honing his skills inshore and offshore targeting fluke, seabass, blackfish, cod and striped bass. |
|
Captain Mark is a USCG licensed Master, 100 gross tons and proud to be the newest owner in recent years of the F/V Montauk Star. |
