Fluke

We fish for Fluke throughout the Summer months starting when the season opens in May. We offer Full Day Fluke trips 7am - 4pm & Extended Full Day Fluke trips 6am - 6pm. Both trips are your best bet to catch your Doormat Fluke & fill your cooler with these flatties. We target Fluke every day the NYS Fluke season is open. We provide Spearing & Squid strips for Fluke bait. A plain hook works fine, some anglers like to bring their own teasers, Spros, or Gulp. All trips are limited anglers for extra comfort, please call us for your reservation, we do not do reservations online.

The clean ocean waters around Montauk are full of life. Although we target Fluke during the summer season you will also see other species caught on your Fluke rig, such as SeaBass, Porgy, Triggers, & Striped Bass. You can keep them as well, as long as they are caught during their open season.

Black Sea Bass

We fish for Black SeaBass starting in the summer months through their season ending in December. Usually a high - low rig is used and teasers or grubs can be added. Jig rigs also work well. During the summer months we catch SeaBass on Fluke rigs with spearing & squid while Fluke fishing. When we target them in the Fall months and follow them into the deeper water we use clams for bait. When fishing for SeaBass in the Fall you can usually expect a nice combo trip, filling your cooler with a variety of fish.

We catch Porgy in the Fall on our combo trips, but if you're looking for a fun Summer evening private charter for the whole family, Porgy is your best bet.
