Each year this group takes a fishing trip to Montauk to enjoy some of the finest striped bass fishing known to exist anywhere in the world.

  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.

  Montauk Harbor has a great fleet of commercial fishing and charter boats to choose from. There is also a large selection of party boats which leave port on daily fishing excursions as well. If you are looking to indulge your self with some of the best fishing the Atlantic Ocean can dish up Montauk is the place to be.
