Moondance

Captain Sal from the Moondance in Montauk noted that this week wraps up his local season before heading south to the Florida Keys, where he’ll be running charters out of Marathon for the winter months. Anyone looking to fish the Keys with him can call (917) 601-4548 to lock in a trip. Sal said the late-October bite around Montauk has been solid, and he expects the transition south to bring more action with snapper, grouper and other warm-water species once he’s down there.

Captain Sal from the Moondance summed it up perfectly: “It’s all about the blackfish — tog, tog, tog, that’s where it’s at!” The bite’s been fantastic, with steady action and a number of standout trips recently. While the stripers made a brief appearance for a day or two, the focus is now fully on tog. Anglers can jig or rig—both are working well—and the crew has everything set up for anglers to bring their own gear or use the boat’s setups. Call (917) 601-4548 to book your next charter before the season closes out.
