I’m just about done for the year and will be hauling out this week, so don’t expect these
reports every Monday morning. I’m going to start to concentrate on the fishing trips to
Central America. Speaking of which; I’m looking for a couple of guys to join me at
Quepos in Costa Rica early in March for three days fishing.. Based on a party of three it
will cost around $1650/person plus air fare & meals and tips. If you are interested, drop
me a line.

The bass fishing is about as good as it gets right now. There are plenty of fish being
caught just about anyway you can think of, and bluefish are easily avoided. The biggest
problem for the charterboats is avoiding all the small boats that flock out here this time of
year. Any sign of bird life and it’s a mad dash. The light tackle guys are in hog heaven
right now, as long as they don’t flip and lose their boat.

On October 9 there is a “Wounded Warrior” event at the Star Island Yacht Club. If you
want to participate go to www.montaukhookandslice.com and check it out. The next day
Star Island is holding a one day striped bass tournament, so, go for broke and make a
weekend out of it. If you need a charterboat for either of these days, better start calling
now, because they are scarce.

Seabass season closes for a couple of weeks on October 12., and scup closes for good the
same day. Blackfish season opens on October 1, so there is still some good bottom fishing
left, and judging by the way it’s been all year it should be great.
