Atlantic Sharpnose Shark
Montauk isn't the first place that comes to mind for shark fishing, but the warmer Gulf Stream currents bring Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks within reach during the summer months. While not as abundant as further south, targeting them here offers a unique angling experience. Focus your efforts in the waters south of Montauk Point, particularly around structure and areas with strong currents. July and August are typically the best months. Access to the water is readily available via several marinas and boat ramps in Montauk Harbor. Be prepared for potentially rough seas and strong winds. These sharks tend to be smaller than those found in warmer waters, but they are still a challenging catch. Chumming can be effective, but be aware that you may also attract other species like bluefish and striped bass. Remember to check local regulations regarding shark fishing, as they can be strict.
