Fishing Charter Websites & Marketing in Montauk, NY
Montauk's fall run draws striped-bass anglers from across the Northeast to one of the busiest charter ports on the coast. In a fleet this size, getting found on Google is how you book the trip.
Montauk — known simply as "The End" for its spot at the easternmost tip of Long Island — is one of the busiest sportfishing ports on the East Coast. Its calling card is the fall run, when migrating striped bass and bluefish stack up in the Point's tide rips and pull anglers from across the Northeast.
The fleet ranges from private six-pack charters to big open boats out of Montauk Harbor, and the season swings from inshore bass and bottom fishing to offshore tuna and sharks in summer. With that many boats and a crowd of day-tripping anglers, captains compete hard on reviews and on how easily they can be found and booked online.
The Montauk fishery
What you target
When it bites
- Spring: Striped bass and bluefish move in and fish well from boat and shore; fluke, sea bass, and porgy open up as the water warms.
- Early summer: Peak bottom fishing for fluke, black sea bass, and porgy, with bluefish and resident striped bass around the Point and the rips.
- Mid-to-late summer: The hottest offshore stretch — yellowfin and bluefin tuna and sharks at the canyons and offshore grounds, with bass and blues inshore.
- Fall run: The signature season: big striped bass and bluefish blitzes off Montauk Point, plus a hard false albacore and bonito run.
- Winter: Slow and weather-dependent; hardy anglers target blackfish (tautog) over structure.
Inshore (rips & the Point)
Trips around the famous Montauk Point rips for striped bass, bluefish, and false albacore — the classic Montauk run.
Bottom & reef
Day trips for fluke, black sea bass, and porgy over local structure, popular on both private charters and the party (head) boats.
Offshore / canyon
Longer runs to the offshore grounds and canyons for yellowfin and bluefin tuna and sharks in the warmer months.
