Blackfishing Leads The Way

Giant Blues in North Shore Harbors

The great togging continued through the week again around the island. The fish are still fairly shallow due to the water temperatures staying about the same. The eastern parts of the island saw some of the better action with Montauk boats leading the way. Stripers are in a bit of a lull but they remain around for shore and boat fishermen to go after. The western portions of the island had some better numbers in the last week comparative to the east. Big bluefish still dominate the scene inside the North Shore harbors with some gators to 18 pounds caught. This week we also have a recap of the results for the Fred Golofaro Memorial Montauk Classic and information on the upcoming View tournament in Oakdale.
