Mike from Star Island Yacht Club let me know plenty of bass are still in the area with a lot of them making the move to Block Island area. An eel or a live porgy will grab you a big one. Some are still local to the rips but the fishing isn’t wild like it was. Some fluke have been caught on the north side by Gin Beach and then Pocketbook in the past week. From the Fishtails on out plenty of yellowfin have been caught when the wind allows for it. They weighed a 312-pound bluefin from the Windy during the week.

Star Island Yacht Club attracts a wide variety of people with a passion for cruising and fishing year-round. Boaters and fishermen come from all over the Island and and the East Coast to enjoy the excitement of seasonal sport fishing and access to an extensive fleet of charter boats. Star Island is also host to many fishing tournaments, cruising club rendezvous, and catered events, as well as Star Island’s own planned tournaments which includes its renowned annual shark tournament. With its unique resemblance to a star floating on the ocean, Star Island Yacht Cub has come a long way from the boat yard it once was. Sam Gershowitz and his team have transformed it into a prime destination for East Coast boaters. “It’s a beautiful place,” Gershowitz says with pride. “It’s a yacht club and a marina, and we cater to people here.” No marina in the area offers more facilities and services. The Ship’s Store is one of Long Island’s largest tackle shops with bait of every type, an expert staff, marine supplies, marine safety equipment, boat batteries, collectors’ items, groceries, and a full service repair department. Visitors can sit down for a casual breakfast, lunch and dinner at Star Deck Restaurant which serves fresh locally caught seafood, and spend Saturday nights enjoying live poolside music and dancing overlooking Lake Montauk. With all it has to offer, Star Island Yacht Club is an inviting club and marina for all.
