Subject: Montauk Sportfishing Report 6/2/03
June 2, 2003
Old Ma Nature must be losing her touch, She only screwed up half of the weekend. Of course
she had the weather guessers working for her, and they scared their share of people away.
For most of the past week the fishing was just great. The bass don’t seem to care much what the
weather is doing, so that has been pretty consistent, with most of the fish what I call mediums.
Bluefish are plentiful enough, and have been putting on surface shows from time to time,
keeping the light tackle guys happy.
When the weather was good the fluke fishing was as well, with a mixture of nice sized fish as
well as shorts, which means a lot of reeling in of fish. When the weather deteriorates, so does the
fishing, but it seems like we may be getting past the worst of it. The upcoming forecast seems
pretty reasonable.
Sea bass are just starting to show out in the deeper water. It’s not red hot, but it’s early yet. It
will start to improve as we get deeper into Spring. So far there is no sign of the doggies that
tormented us so much last year.
Next weekend the shark fishing starts. The water is still pretty cool, but it can’t stay that way
forever, so I’m pretty confident that some sharks will be caught by anyone who runs out as far as
forty fathoms or so.
Next Sunday is the Blessing of the Fleet, rain, or shine or wind. The festivities start at 5:00 pm,
when al the boats file past the Town Dock to get blessed, after which they head out past the
jetties to throw water balloons. If you want to go for a ride, hop aboard one of the party boats.
There are a couple of pretty nice little boats for sale, the PICES and WAKE. The PICES is a 31’
JC, and the WAKE is a 34’ WILBUR. Both have recently rebuilt Cats.
