Montauk, a small town with a big drinking problem.

I love Montauk. The fishing is not as great today as it was 20 years ago, but every year you still get consistent large by folks fishing eels at night. The best way I like to fish it is on a weeknight, or to time it during some bad weather when the tourist traffic is down.

There won't be too many Montauk memories this weekend folks, winds forecast to 50mph, seas to 12 ft.

Here is an interesting viewpoint I found on another site---


MECCA

The term MECCA is the Holiest site in Islam.
Montauk is perhaps the greatest site in Surf Fishing.
When a Muslim Prays he always faces towards Mecca or the rising sun in the EAST which is in Saudi Arabia.

When a New Yorker or other mainlander looks to fish he heads EAST towards the rising sun.
A Muslim is supposed to make a pilgrimage at least once a year to Mecca.

A Fishermen is supposed to make a pilgrimage at least once a year to Montauk....
And if he doesn't he runs the risk of angering Neptune who may skunk him for a year.

Ya don't want to anger King Neptune.
I say a prayer to him every time I go out there.

That is crazyalberto there in the first pic nitestrikes, cool shot!
Anyone fishing Montauk from shore yet? They are starting to pull some nice bass from there, trolling and eels. Time to check it out.

blitzhunter I just realized in your top picture the girl to the left has shorts and a tank top on. You can't see whether she had korkers or not. it looks like her boyfriend is next to her so someone is watching over her. Not the best clothes to wear on the rocks out there, she should at least have waders on. Nice pics anyway

Dude it looks pretty crowded in some of that video, is that just the weekend or like that on the weekdays too? Thanks for posting that, sweet video!

[baitstealer]

Beautiful work sharkhart. Do you wear a wetsuit when you go out there to fish montauk?

[SharkHart]

I dont wear a wetsuit it be nice if i had one, Weekdays are lighter crowds but the 6 week hot time is always crowded to some extent
