Took a a ride to Montauk after fishing with the Stripercoast crew. I wanted to see what it would be like with the winds forecast to 40 or 50 mph, and see if there was fishable water.

I had a very interesting trip on many levels. I met some of the surf fishin icons I already know. I also met a bunch of great people that maybe are not that well known, but incredible fishermen nonetheless.

You won't see a lot of these guys on the internet, they have better things to do with their time. Instead, they love to fish, and fish they do, as much as they can. Since I got there on a Friday, you get a better chance to have conversations before the weekend crowds start drifting in. I met more guys there with 40 and 50 years of fishing time under their belts than I could ever meet in one area of Jersey or NY.

Montauk is truly mecca, the Sportfishing capital of the world, as they call it.

I'll try to load in some of the pics and videos I took to give others who may not have gone, just a taste of what it's like.

Hope ya's like em!
