Eastern New York - Long Island

Montauk, NY We had Eric, Mike, Rob, Bill, Mark and Darrel out for a 1/2 day trip out of Montauk. We canceled Saturdays trip due to the unfishable conditions. We set out on Sunday morning in much more manageable seas with seas 3-4' with a N/W wind pushing 15-20 kts dropping down to 10-15 in the afternoon. We drifted eels on the local rips in front of the lighthouse. Eric was the first one on as soon as he dropped down to the bottom. A nice teen size keeper. Then bill was on with a nice 20 lb. fish. Then bill dropped a cow when it got cut off by one of the engines! bummer. Then there was nothing but blues the rest of the trip. They wreaked havoc on our 4 dozen eels! Mike landed a monster pushing 20 lbs! all in all they had a blast! We fished the end of the ebb into the start of the flood. Tight Lines! Capt. Dennis FAIR CHASE II
