Montauk Surf Fishing Report (Capt. Kevin Shea - July 5, 2005)
Well, I finally got my brother Colin caught up with the right surf gear. He's a big fan of fishing the freshwater spots on Montauk, but I finally convinced him to give the surf some time. His birthday was Saturday (July 2nd), so we used the excuse to take a couple of hours over at culloden point.
It was a beautiful evening on Saturday...light winds and plenty of sun. The terns were working pretty hard right in on the beach and rocks. We started with 2 oz blue/white poppers and immediately started getting hits, but no fish. The blues were breaking water and I could see they were smallish.
After 2 hours we had our fill of bluefish and even a few small bass mixed in. The best part of the evening was when I caught a striper AND a blue on ONE POPPER at the same time! I've heard of it happening, but that was a first for me.
Overall, it was a great way to spend time with my brother, as usual. It was also the first time I had been fishing since the birth of my son, Killian (born on 6/21/05). It'll be fun to fish Montauk with him in a few years.
After speaking with other fellas, the bass and blues surf action had been good all weekend in most of the popular spots. If you're headed out to Montauk, and things remain the same, the odds look good for hooking up with some nice fish.
