At the Montauk Anglers Club, I heard from resident sharpie Chris Albronda who reported it was a week of game changing weather. Chris was able to get a few casts in through the week, and the fish were fired up. Every cast was either a smallmouth bass or a largemouth bass. This weather is significant because it changes the chemistry of the water, the temperature, and the feeding habits of the predatory fish. You can expect some very epic fishing this week.

Will from the Montauk Anglers Club reported all is good at the marina following the storm. They are looking forward to getting back into a full week of fishing and welcoming in the heart of the fall run, with stripers, blues and albies expected to be the main focus.

At the Montauk Anglers Club, the guys directed me to resident pro Chris Albronda. This week, Chris reported bass fishing was better than he has seen it in a long time. Both smallmouth and largemouth bass were extremely active along the shore lines and in shallow or water. During the early morning hours, they were eating topwater lures. Approaching noon, switching over to soft plastics, and as we got closer to sunset, big swim baits was the way to get hooked into bigger fish. The walleye pulled a disappearing act, they were eating during the day but Chris believes they are switching over to feeding primarily during the night now. The panfish and perch fishing were best first thing in the morning.

Will from the Montauk Anglers Club reported large numbers of albies around the Point and along the north side, while more bluefish have been holding along the south side. Fluke fishing has slowed somewhat, but a few resident striped bass are beginning to show on both sides of the Point, which is an encouraging sign heading deeper into the fall. Some giant bluefin have also been caught on the inshore numbers, with recreational-size tuna mixed in. Sea bass and porgy fishing continues to be consistent.
