This week proved to be even better than last week, the striped bass fishing for this time of year is as good as I’ve seen it in the past 30 years. With all sizes available up to 35lb class, and a mix of very large bluefish, it doesn’t get much better than this. You can get them feeding on the surface or mark them and drop slow-pitch jigs and diamond jigs on them. There was a steady flow of fluke to be caught, most of the fish were keepers. From the surf, especially at night bigger fish are being caught on top water lures. The majority of the fish were caught near the lighthouse. During the day, the SP Minnow bone color has been very successful. Come see me at Montauk Anglers Club tackle shop to get the latest news on the bite, and all the gear you need to make it happen.
