Montauk Fishing for Striped Bass and Bluefish

  The date was October 7, 2003 Jim Cleary and his party of 5 from Elmira, NY took a fall trip to Montauk and it was fabulous. They were fishing for Striped Bass and Bluefish aboard the Charter Boat Windy with Captain Jack Passie . Mike the mate aboard the Windy is pictured with Jim Cleary holding a 30 pound Striper caught just off the point on Montauk. This is one of many caught and released this day. The bass were very cooperative as were the bluefish. Later that day they saw a 100 pound Bluefin Tuna brought in by another boat. The party boats did very well with the Porgies and Sea Bass. The weather was great and fishing was fantastic not a bad way to say good bye to summer.

  In the photo to the left you will see a Parachute Jig. These are large lead headed jigs that are tipped with a pork rind and the trolled and jigged over the rocks and boulders that these big bass like to hide and ambush food from. It is one of the most productive methods for catching big stripers.

  Other methods of catching stripers include trolling large plugs or imitation plastic eels, using cut bait, fishing with live eels or bunker. Striped bass are often caught by other anglers who are fishing for Fluke and Porgies. They are always on the look out for a easy meal.

  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 flows 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. In shore fishing may include, Striped Bass, Bluefish, Fluke, Porgies, Sea Bass, 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.
