Sharks


From early June through early October SHARKS are big, mean, plentiful and a short ride offshore from MONTAUK. BLUE SHARKS are the first to arrive, and as the water warms the MAKOS and THRESHERS show up. MAKOS and TRESHERS are usually brought in and prepared for the table, while BLUE SHARKS are mostly catch and release. The tackle we use for SHARKING is most often 30 and 50 pound stand-up, but of course bent butt 80s or 130s are always on board just in case a monster shows up in our slick.




BLUES will average 150 pounds, the MAKOS about the same. THRESHERS are big, the hardest fighter, and are usually 250 pounds or more. June is thetime for SHARK TOURNAMENTS and the big bucks that come along with them. If you have any interest in doing a SHARK TOURNIMENT call me for details.

SHARKING is very often combined with STRIPED BASS fishing. The STRIPER grounds are right on the way offshore for the SHARKS. That way we always have table fare for your trip home. No matter when you come, SHARKING is exciting offshore adventure.
