Oldfielder,
Are you getting out to Montauk this fall? I'm going to try to get down the weekend after the new moon, around Oct 9-13 or so, help close the house in Sound Beach and get out to the point for a few tides.

had three days of ridiculous topwater in the boat a few weeks ago. Bass, blues and albies busting up everywhere and some pretty good seasbassin to boot. I'll try too hit the surf this weekend, as well. I will be out there Columbus Day weekend-hopefully with the SC=the insanity should be in full swing by then with boats and surfcasters-as if it's not already

Amen brother Ken!!!! "Been there and done that" at the pass for my last time many years ago. Not sure of the proper word to describe the fishing, I'm thinking stupid is close. Years ago I had a friend who's 23' Mako interior was destroyed, along with all the fishing gear by a hooked 125# tarpon that landed in his boat....not pretty!!

If your gonna fish the pass with the jiggers, you better know how to handle your boat. There were a couple fights this year because of people that didn't. I prefer livebaiting at night. Bigger fish!

Hmmm......will have to give Paul a ring on this one, looks like his boat has seen better days (or Hampton Water Sports' boat).
