Long Island has fantastic fishing year around. Long Island anglers can choose from a multitude of species including weakfish, striped bass, fluke, flounder, sea bass, blackfish, porgies, mackerel, cod, pollock, hake, haddock, bluefish, sharks, and tuna.
Montauk is located at the far eastern end of Long Island. It is about 125 miles east of New York City. Montauk is New York State’s largest commercial fishing port. This region is known as one of the sport fishing capitals of the world. It is home to over 25 current world records. The waters of Long Island Sound flow into the Atlantic Ocean at Montauk and bring in vast amounts of bait and nutrients. This attracts great schools of Striped Bass, Bluefish and Fluke.
Since Montauk is all ready so far out in the ocean it makes it the closest port to the canyons and the gulfstream. This in turn creates a fantastic fishing opportunity for off shore trips for tuna, shark, and marlin. If the water is too rough for off shore fishing the in shore fishing is always great. During an in shore fishing trip anglers may encounter the following species Striped Bass, Bluefish, Fluke, Porgies, Sea Bass, and Flounder.
New Yorks Coastal Waters are providing excellent catches of Striped Bass, Bluefish, Shark, Fluke, and Tuna. Fishing for these species is in full swing now, and is a certain possibility for a great outing. Dont pass up a nice diversion from your local waters.
