Memorial Day weekend

Good morning anglers, The boat is finally out in Montauk. I was able to get a few hours of fishing in on Monday and saw very good things. Destpite cold water temperatures the south side was loaded with sandeels. We managed about a dozen short Fluke in little time and dropped a nicer fish boat side. Porgies are in great numbers trickling out of the Peconics. Bass and blues have shown up as well. With this weeks sunny and warm weather fishing should start to improve quickly.

Captain Marco featured in Salt Water Sportsman

Captain Marco of Misty Dawn Fishing was recently interviewed for Salt Water Sportsman. Marco DeStefano tightened his line, lifted his rod and set the hook. “I had a good feeling about this spot,” he said as a 7-pound fluke hit the deck. We started the morning looking for big summer flatties in 90-foot depths at the Cartwright Grounds southeast of Montauk Point, which had been the doormat hot spot for several consecutive days. We then moved inshore to the Frisbees area to ice another keeper and several black sea bass.
