Montauk Sportfishing report 8/22/11

The tuna fishing is absolutely nothing to rave about. In actuality it’s possible it’s not even one thing to consider except if you are
hard core. There are a handful of yellowfins to be caught south of the 43600 line as nicely as out on the Edge. But it’s far
from a certain factor that you will get one particular. You can possibly catch some mahi all around the pots to keep the skunk off
the boat, but it’s a prolonged run for 5 pound fish. Similarly to the east exactly where you might desire for a bluefin or two.
That’s unlikely to occur possibly.
Sharks on the other hand are extremely cooperative. Four or 5 bluesharks are about the norm, with a actual
likelihood of a mako, despite the fact that the mako may possibly only be a pup. But there are ample of them of legal dimension about
that you do stand a likelihood of obtaining a single you can consume. What’s also great about the shark fishing is the small
sum of fuel you burn off to get to them.
Inshore the striped bass fishing is a small delicate. You might reveal that it’s that way since there are so
numerous bluefish all around – or possibly just not that many bass. A lot of the small private boats are fishing with stay
baits like eels, and the bluefish really like them. Much more of the charter boats are working over to Southwest Ledge for
them, even on a 50 percent day. That may price $ 75 or so a lot more in fuel than it would price to fish around the Point.
Bottom fishing is fantastic, for fluke, seabass and porgies. In current many years the fluke fishing started to taper off
by this time of calendar year, but it is holding up nicely, and there is no cause, other than incompetence, why you
shouldn’t be capable to go out and catch some good meals. Most of the action is on the south aspect.
If you are fascinated in catching a great deal of sailfish this winter season, I’ll be escorting some groups to Guatemala in
March. Check it out at www.tropicalfishing.com/guaescort.html
