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.
