New York - Montauk
Montauk Point on easternmost Long Island is the best-known spot in all of striper fishing. That means it gets crowded, even more so when surf casters follow the advice to "fish under the light-¿ (lighthouse). Here's a tip: Walk to the left or right along the shore from the lighthouse parking lot. Keep walking-"there's great structure as far as you can see in both directions. And when you're hauling that 30-pounder to your truck, tell anyone who asks that you caught it under the light. Paulie's Tackle of Montauk, 631-668-5520; pauliestackle.com
Guide's Tips
Species: Stripers
Guide: Bill Wetzel; longislandsurffishing.com; 631-987-6919
Rig Specifics: A 10-foot rod with 30- to 50-pound braided line with a few feet of 90-pound braided leader. Fish 1 1/2-inch plugs dressed with bucktail using about a 7/0 hook.
Quick Tip: Depending on which side of the island you're on, you want the tide to be going out or coming in. The fish will be around structure.
Where to Fish: Fish the wrecks. There will be a lot of people in Turtle Cove next to the light house, but it's still a good place.
