 things too the east
in short, i, my brothers, their friends, and aparently everyone else has become a spearfisherman. in the last week each of us has shot fish of 40 or better, the biggest being 54. these were all from one massive body of fish, that despite skishing efforts will not respond to angling gear. and befor anyone gets uptight none have shote more then two over the last week most having shot but one trophy. there is a record to be had in mtk. yesterday in a different area i saw the largest fish i have ever seen. it looked nearly two feet from the belly to the top of the head. it was however getting dark and sole giants spookin a heartbeat. i dove till i could not see the rocks in front of me hoping for return to no avail.
otherwise the rips are loaded. i went flukeing today for the first time this summer, i know crazy, but had great fishing with over tweenty shorts and 2 keepers to 5 1/2 lbs. word is that local eeling has picked up significantly with the viking catching near limits of fish 35lbs and loseing 3 40+ fish boatside yesterday evening.
offshore the canyons are heating up.nico had yellows and longfin to 80lbs on a tues troll along with a mess of mahi. wahoo are being reported with consistency as close as the ranger wreck.
its montauk fish are everywhere  |
