When it comes to sport fishing, Montauk tops long island! We
have an abundance of species available to us within a reasonable
range.
For most, it starts off with bottom fishing for Fluke
in may. The fluke (or summer flounder) begin their migration
from offshore. We get an oppoortunity at huge masses of Fluke
as they make their way around montauk point. We offer 1/2
and full day charters for fluke. We fish for fluke from
May until Mid-september. Fluke fishing is great for everyone,
including younger children and families.
The next fish to come our way in numbers are the Striped
Bass and Bluefish. Both are fun to catch, but the stripers
are the real trophies and can exceed 60 lbs. We fish for bass
and blues from May through November.
Next, the sharks start rolling into the area. This is when
the offshore, or montauk deep sea fishing begins! While different
types of sharks come through our waters, our primary targets
are mako, blue and thresher. Montauk's
shark fishing tournaments begin during this time also. Shark
fishing starts in June and ends in early October.
Tuna fishing begins
in July. They are the prize of the deep sea, sportfisherman.
Usually, we head about 25 - 35 miles from montauk point to find
tuna. However, many times a Canyon run is necessary to find
the fish. A canyon run would take us approximately 68 miles
offshore into the blue water. Our primary tuna catches consist
of bluefin, yellowfin, albacore, bigeye, longfin and more!
