Mike from Star Island Yacht Club reported quality striped bass fishing with fish to 40 pounds. Bluefish are mixed in with the bass, while porgies have started to show up around Montauk. Sea bass action around the Point continues to improve as water temperatures rise.

Mike from Star Island Yacht Club told me striped bass fishing has been excellent both around Montauk Point and over toward Block Island, with some truly large fish in the mix. Anglers are having to pick through plenty of bluefish to reach the bass at times. Fluking remains on the slower side, but sea bass fishing is improving both south of the Point and right off the Point, where jigs and clam baits are producing quality fish.

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.
