Subject: Montauk Sportfishing report 5/26/03
May 26, 2003
I don’t know what we’ve done to get old Mother Nature so po’d, but she sure seems intent on
getting even. Maybe somebody has to go out and sacrifice a goat or something.
The weather hasn’t hurt the bass fishing at all, except maybe to make the fishermen miserable.
There are some better sized fish showing up, with a number of boats taking fish in the thirty
pound range.
The fluke fishing on the other hand is suffering. I think if we could have two decent days in a
row that would settle in, but right now it is a little difficult. There are fish in the rips as well as
on the south side now, but as is normal, these fish are not the quality at everybody wants this
time of year. However, with the conditions that we have been having, you have to fish where you
can, not where you want to.
I imagine there are a couple of boats that are booked to go shark fishing next weekend, but I
don’t know if they will, or should. From what I can find out, the water temperatures out there are
only about fifty degrees at the warmest, and that won’t be enough to insure success. And, it
doesn’t look like we can expect a heat wave this week to help out.
If you would like to have these reports sent to you directly, just drop me a note at
CaptGene@MontaukSportfishing.com. And for more information about fishing in Montauk, you
