Montauk Sportfishing report 5/2/11

I constantly take into account the opening day of the fishing year the following in Montauk the 1st day that
the LAZYBONES sails, and that was Sunday with the opening of the fluke period. There
are fluke there, but it was a sluggish start off with some keepers but a lot more shorts. The morning
was greatest but nothing to jump up and down about, but when the breeze came up in the
afternoon issues slowed down. The drinking water has to warm up a bit much more ahead of items get
significant. Correct now, cod fishing is a much better wager with that nonetheless going strong southeast of
Block Island.

You’ve all noticed keep with indicators in their windows about revenue due to the fact they misplaced their
lease. Well, some thing like that has occurred the following in Montauk with a couple of the head
boats. Previous yr Capt Jamie Quaresimo was running the FISHING EXPRESS as his
standard boat with the Miss MONTAUK becoming used for occasional charters. The
EXPRESS is gone now, and Jamie is back with the Skip MONTAUK on the scheduled
journeys, and I listen to it will be docked at Salivar’s, but not nevertheless. There will have to be some
dockwork completed 1st. Appropriate now the boat is tied up at the Marine Basin’s fuel dock. The
MARLIN VI PRINCESS is no extended docked at Uhlein’s. All week it was at the Marine
Basin, but now is tied up wherever the FISHING EXPRESS employed to be.

Capt Stret Whitting has retired and has the WAKE up for sale. It’s a fairly new 42’
Wilbur with an 800 hp Cat, and is a actual sweet boat. Apparently Cap John Demaio who
runs the VIVIENNE out of Lenny’s Dock has arrive up with some type of gig that will
curtail his fishing. Most of this is a rumor, but his mate started out to appear for a new slot
since John is not coming back to city till mid July at the earliest.

There are even now some specifics to be ironed out with the Salt H2o Registry that will have the
spot of the Salt Drinking water License. As it stands as of my cellphone phone to the DEC this
morning, out of state anglers are permitted to fish in New York waters with out carrying out
anything at all, unless they run a head or charter boat, and then they will need the New
York $ 250 allow to operate. When the registry facts are all completed having their i’s
dotted and t’s crossed, outsiders may have to be registered with New York State. It
won’t charge anything at all except aggravation. I’m inclined to be a beer that this won’t be all
figured out till late this yr, if then.
