Fishing starts on the WINDY about the second week in July and runs
right through the end of September. We usually start out trolling
south of Montauk Point targeting YELLOWFIN and LONGFIN ALBACORE.
The 2001 season was terrific right from the get-go. With many catches
in double figures. The WINDY was once again the high liner among
Montauk charter boats with well over 100 ALBACORE and YELLOWFINS
boated in 2001. Next year should be even better.
The ALBACORE
will average 35 to 40 pounds and the YELLOWFINS average between
50 and 70 pounds. The best fish in 2001 was a 105 pounder caught
trolling about 45 miles southeast of the point._sm.gif) This
red hot action lasted well into September and actually some of the
best days of the season were the middle two weeks for those who
choose to make the run far offshore. Remember: on the WINDY all
the TUNA you catch belong to you with the exception of GIANT BLUEFINS
and BIGEYE.
Usually towards
the end of September the target species becomes the SCHOOL BLUEFIN
TUNA. We very often fish for the BLUEFINS behind the draggers south
of Block Island. This is a short ride and the action is fast and
furious.
On the WINDY
open days are few so plan your trip early and give us a call.
