Montauk fly fishing and light tackle report 10/17/07

It looks like last weeks NE wind and rain did the trick. The water in Montauk dropped from 66 degrees to 60 degrees in a week. Schools of bass have be showing with fish over 20 pounds, the false albacore (albies) are back to agressive feeding. The bass and false albacore (albies) also seem to be out numbering the blue fish. All three species are still feeding on rain bait mostly less the two inches in length. I am hoping that the albies stay around a little longer.

Montauk fly fishing and light tackle reprot 10/04/07:

Fishing for the false ablies has been great so far and showing no sign of slowing down. We are actually catching more albies then blues, probably a 3-1 ratio. The big concentrations of bass have not really showed yet but that should all change in the next week or two. Due to cancelations the weekend of the 13th and 14th is available and should provide some excellent fishing.

This spring has been an exceptional one. Starting the first week of May we had large schools of bunker all over the Great South Bay as well as Patchogue Bay, most likely a result in the increased regulations for commercial netting. This has brought in large blue fish schools right into the Patchogue Bay, haven’t seen this in a while.  Also the weak fish have arrived into the local rivers and creeks. As usual bass have been in both the Moriches and Fire Island inlet areas.  The increased fluke regulations haven’t been a problem this year as most people thought they would, as many fish are being caught well over the new legal limit of 19.5”.  While fishing is red hot right now we still anticipate the arrival of the pelagic species such as shark and tuna.  This should be within the next few weeks.
