Montauk Sportfishing Report 5/16/05

5/7/05

Well, things aren't great, but they are definitely starting to look up.
Surfcasters have been picking away at the bass for a couple of weeks now,
and finally around mid-week, the boats started to catch them as well. They
aren't all getting their limits yet, but some have, with fish up to around
eighteen pounds or so. The flood tide seems to be the best right now, with
the ebb being a pick, pick, pick type of thing.

The fluke are all on the southside, and that isn't red hot either, although
it varies from day to day. There are some nice sized fish, but also some
regulars and shorts mixed in. As with the bass, some boats are getting their
limits, while others struggle.
