Fishing in Montauk

Montauk sits at the eastern tip of Long Island and calls itself the “Fishing Capital of the World”. The Atlantic and Block Island Sound meet off Montauk Point, and the rips, reefs and deep water close to shore draw a huge variety of fish.

Striped bass and the fall run

Montauk is famous for striped bass, especially during the fall run, when bass and bluefish chase bait around the point. Fishing the rocks and rips off the lighthouse is a classic Northeast trip.

Bottom fishing

Fluke (summer flounder), black sea bass, porgy and tautog are the staples of summer and fall, and party boats from the harbor make an affordable day on the water.

Offshore

Longer trips head offshore and to the canyons for bluefin and yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi and sharks, including mako and thresher.

Good to know

New York has strict rules for striped bass, fluke and sea bass that change from year to year — check the New York State DEC regulations, or ask your captain.

Summer brings fluke, sea bass, porgy and offshore tuna and sharks; fall (September to November) is the famous striped bass and bluefish run around Montauk Point; spring starts with early bass and bottom fishing.
