Star Island Yacht Club

Mike from Star Island Yacht Club reported that Block Island has been producing a good mix of striped bass and sea bass. Bottom fishing remains a reliable option, while bass anglers have been finding fish around the island as well. With fall fishing continuing to develop, Block Island remains a worthwhile destination for anglers looking to target several species during the same trip.

Mike from Star Island Yacht Club reported that mahi are still being found roughly 15 to 18 miles south of the beach. There are also a number of giant tuna around, with fish reported to about 90 inches. Striped bass fishing is beginning to see some larger fish show, particularly on live baits such as legal porgies and eels, with bass to around 40 pounds. He hasn't heard much on albies since the recent blow. Bottom fishing for porgies and sea bass remains very solid south of the Point, and he's hoping for one more shot of good fluke fishing before the season closes. Prior to the blow, yellowfin were being found well offshore, but he hasn't heard of much recent action.

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.
