    My father in-law, brother in-law and I caught so many fish we had to start throwing them back. Excellent experience with a knowledgeable captain. Highly recommend.

What's biting with Against The Wind Fishing in Montauk

By November, the offshore pelagics have generally moved on, with the action now staying steadily closer to home. Make the most of the open season for Blackfish (Tautog) and keep chasing those Stripers!
