Premium 10-Hour Fishing Trip | Greenport to Montauk

Full-Day Fishing Adventure: Greenport to Montauk

Trip Overview

Get ready for a serious day of fishing with our 10-hour private charter from Greenport to Montauk. We're talking about covering some serious ground here, folks. This isn't your average quick trip - we're going all out to put you on the fish. With room for up to six anglers, you and your crew will have the run of the boat as we hit multiple fishing grounds throughout the day. We'll be targeting a mix of species, from tasty fluke to hard-fighting striped bass, and everything in between. This trip is perfect for anglers who want to maximize their time on the water and really dig into what the East End has to offer.

What to Expect on the Water

Listen up, because here's the deal: we're gonna cover a lot of water on this trip. We'll start by heading out of Greenport, known for its protected bays and inshore fishing spots. As the day progresses, we'll make our way towards Montauk, "The End" as us locals call it, where the fishing can be downright epic. You'll get to experience a variety of fishing techniques throughout the day. We might start off drifting for fluke in the morning, switch to jigging for stripers around structure, and then finish up with some bottom fishing for scup and sea bass. The beauty of this extended trip is that we've got time to really work different areas and adjust our tactics based on what's biting. And don't worry about gear - we've got you covered with top-notch rods, reels, and all the tackle you'll need.

Techniques & Terrain

Alright, let's break down how we'll be fishing on this trip. For fluke (summer flounder to you out-of-towners), we'll be using a mix of bucktails and Gulp! baits, drifting over sandy bottoms and drop-offs. When we're after striped bass, we might toss some live eels around structure or troll wire line with parachute jigs - it all depends on where the fish are and how they're feeding. And for the bottom fish like scup, we'll drop down some hi-lo rigs baited with clams or squid. The terrain we'll cover ranges from shallow bays to deep rips off Montauk Point. We might hit some of the famous spots like "The Lighthouse" or "Shagwong Reef" if the bite is on. The key is, we've got options, and we'll use every minute of those 10 hours to put you on fish.

Top Catches This Season

Let me tell you, the fishing has been on fire lately. We've been seeing some monster fluke coming over the rails, with a few doormats pushing 10 pounds. The striped bass run has been solid too, with plenty of keeper-sized fish and some real cows in the 40-pound range for those willing to put in the time. And don't sleep on the scup - these "porgies" might not be glamorous, but they're plentiful and make for some fantastic eating. Remember, it's not just about size - it's about the experience and bringing home some fresh fillets for the table. On this extended trip, you've got a real shot at landing a personal best or filling the cooler with a mixed bag of delicious fish.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Fluke (Summer Flounder): These flatfish are masters of camouflage and put up a surprising fight for their shape. They love sandy or muddy bottoms and can grow to impressive sizes in our waters. The best part? They're absolutely delicious. We typically target fluke from late spring through early fall, with the biggest fish often showing up in July and August. When you feel that telltale thump on your line and start reeling, get ready - you might have a real doormat on the other end!

Striped Bass: The mighty striper is the crown jewel of Northeast inshore fishing. These powerful fish can range from schoolies in the 20-inch range to trophy cows pushing 50 pounds or more. They're voracious predators, known for crushing bait on the surface one day and hugging the bottom the next. Stripers typically show up in our waters in May and stick around until late fall. There's nothing quite like the rush of a big bass peeling line off your reel - it's an addiction that keeps anglers coming back year after year.

Scup (Porgy): Don't let their small size fool you - scup are a blast to catch and even better to eat. These feisty little fighters travel in schools and can provide non-stop action when you find them. They've got a small mouth but a big appetite, and they'll readily take bait or small jigs. Scup fishing is at its best from late spring through fall. While they might not be the glamour species, a cooler full of scup means you're in for some fantastic fish fries.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

I'll tell you straight - this 10-hour trip isn't for the faint of heart. It's for serious anglers who want to make the most of their day on the water. The extended range means we can follow the fish and adapt to conditions, giving you the best shot at a stellar day of fishing. Plus, with the variety of species we target, you never know what might end up on the end of your line. It's the kind of trip where you might start off catching fluke for dinner, then suddenly find yourself locked in battle with a trophy striper. And let's not forget the scenery - from the picturesque harbors of Greenport to the rugged beauty of Montauk, you're in for some world-class views along the way.
