It was an awesome week of fishing in Montauk, especially with the striped bass. During the full moon fish up to 30 pounds were caught in the surf while fish in the 40s were caught from the boat. Fish are chewing on a variety of lures, the most effective being flutter spoons. The stripers were mainly feeding on butterfish and bay anchovies. You can figure out where they are by the size of birds diving in the water. If there are terns, they are diving on anchovies and if there are bigger common birds, they’re eating butterfish. In other news, plenty of double-digit fluke were caught this week and lots of keepers and shorts were chewing. Montauk Anglers Club tackle shop recently received an order from Super Strike, as well as loading up on a variety of bucktails and teasers to go with them. Come check us out and hand-feed the striped bass while you’re here.
