Montauk - The End of Long Island - is one of the Northeast's premier fisheries, and its fall run is the stuff of legend: striped bass and bluefish blitz the point, drawing anglers from across the region. Inshore trips work the rips for stripers, bluefish and fluke (summer flounder), while offshore boats run for tuna, mako shark and sea bass. The charter and party-boat fleet runs from Montauk Harbor. This is a seasonal fishery, strongest late spring through fall. Match the trip to your target and confirm the boat, trip length and season.
