Mike from Star Island Yacht Club let me know those hard easterlies we experienced all last week made it tough for the Montauk fleet to do some proper fishing. He did know that some tuna were 25 miles south of the point up to about 70 pounds for those who were able to catch the window on Friday. Big bass have also shown up in the rips around the point.

Mike from Star Island Yacht Club let me know the bigger tuna moved south of the Ranger area. They have been weighing in some larger ones out that way to over 100 pounds with some smaller ones being caught closer on jigs and trolling spreads. Fluking also stepped up the game a bit in the last week with action and size. They weighed in a 12-pound fluke from the Pocketbook area. The best chance at some sea bass and porgies was closer to Block Island area by the windmills.

Alex from Star Island Yacht Club let me know of a good bluefin bite from 15 to 20 miles south of the point – a little further than the CIA grounds. The Little Marlena saw a bluefin tuna limit the other day. The inshore bite seems to be picking up a bit with solid fluking at Cartwright and Frisbees with good sea bass mixed in as well on most trips.

Mike from Star Island Yacht Club let me know bass fishing has been lights out on the incoming with fish to 40 pounds. Most have been jigging with a bucktails with a piece of pork rind. Two and 3-ounce diamond jigs have been another staple choice. If they come up top, poppers have been catching their fair share of fish as well. Chris Cercy and his crew on the Boobah reported in with a 202-pound bluefin. Gotta Go also had a 181-pound bigeye tuna A lot of other fish in the same range have been coming to the club as well and they heard of even bigger tuna out there. Fluking has improved and the better fishing has been in 100 feet of water or so as of recent. Plenty of porgies and sea bass are around on the rocky bottom as well.
