took this roughly 6 seasons ago, i stood on the shore and got some video too, why? because there was so many blitzes, and opportunity, if this happened again id run like Hell

Wow- sounds pretty inconsistent in Montauk as well. I thought it was supposed to be the big mecca for stripers?

[fishinmission78]

don't have a lot of experience there. Strategically that should be where many striped bass would gather up before they make the run.
just doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Could be coming true, deja vu.

Every year another charter drops out of the biz at 'tauk.

Finally some stripers showed up. Mostly blue fish, but got a few stripers this weekend out East.

Looks like will be a late run this year. Guy i know posted this about montauk-
"I just got back from my annual vacation to Montauk. I have never spent so many consecutive days in Montauk with such quiet weather. Day after day with no wind or even clouds. A few fish under the light before sunrise but nothing almost anywhere else. I did manage a few school stripers at Shagwong after dark. Bait was everywhere. I am going to keep my poles ready in case things bust open. Even though it is a six hour drive for me the potential is there."
