The Inshore and Offshore Water Temperature is Warming UP... Big time !
That's right... Everyone knows we had a Mild Winter this year. The Offshore and Inshore Water Temperature is Warming Up at a fast rate, and that is what We WANT !!!!
All the Inshore and Offshore Species will be at least Two to Three Weeks Early this year compared to last year.
I am giving a Heads Up to Book Early... That's because things will be accelerated this year with the warm water moving in sooner than expected.

The Inshore fishing for Fluke, and Sea Bass should be
hitting good in early May. The Offshore fishing for Tuna should also be firing on all cylinders by the end of May, or the beginning of June at the latest.
Last year we had some great Fluke and Sea Bass fishing including some incredible Tuna, Marlin, and the best Wahoo fishing ever.

We had another beautiful and fun day today for The Monge 7 Boys! There was lots of tog and sea bass- the tog size was off, with tons of shorts everywhere we went. Even though the keepers were playing hard to get, we were able to put a nice catch together of both keeper tog and sea bass.

Everything fishing wise is starting to come together in a big way. The inshore fishing has steadily improved with Fluke up to 7 pounds Seabass up to 4 pounds.
Offshore fishing has started to explode... Yellow fin blue fin bigeye are all there for the taking yesterday we had a 77 pound wahoo. It looks like going into September is going to be out-of-Control.

    Kevin was a great captain!! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed checking out the area and chatting with him. He gave awesome local recommendations and was super helpful all around. Thanks Kevin!

    Trip: Sunset Cruise

    I recently had the good fortune to spend an afternoon with Captain Ken deep-sea fishing off Montauk. Being a novice “deep sea” fisherman I really didn’t know what to expect. But the afternoon was far better than I could have imagined. We spent more than 4 hours in glorious weather with Captain Ken showing us the ropes. We probably caught more than 20 bluefish. But what made it so special was Captain Ken’s easygoing personality, positive attitude, patience and willingness to make it a memorable day, which it was. I can’t say enough good things about the experience and would recommend spending a morning or afternoon with Captain Ken and his very talented colleague. You will not regret it. The photo below provides a sense of the great day we had.

    We had a fantastic fishing trip with Captain Kevin! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. He put us on the fish, made the experience fun and stress-free, and helped create some wonderful family memories. We highly recommend Captain Kevin to anyone looking for a great day on the water, and we’ll definitely be back!
