The fish Montauk anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Montauk — "the End" — is one of the most storied striped-bass fisheries in the world, where the rips off the Point concentrate bait and stripers and bluefish into a blitz during the legendary fall run. The lighthouse rocks are a surfcasting shrine, and the boats work the rips on every tide. False albacore tear up the harbor mouth and the south side in early autumn, and the offshore grounds bring sea bass, fluke and a summer tuna shot. There is nowhere else quite like it on the Northeast coast.
