Blacknose Shark
While Montauk, New York, might be better known for its striped bass, blacknose sharks offer a thrilling alternative, particularly during the summer months. The warm Gulf Stream currents bring these sharks closer to shore, making them accessible to anglers. Montauk's unique location at the eastern tip of Long Island exposes it to a wide range of pelagic species. Look for blacknose sharks in the rips and along the sandy shoals where baitfish congregate. A popular tactic is drifting with live or cut bait. Keep in mind that Montauk can get crowded, especially during peak season, so plan accordingly. Public access points are available at Montauk Point State Park and several beaches. A local tip: be aware of strong currents and changing weather conditions, which can quickly impact fishing. The blacknose shark population here is migratory, so their presence is seasonal. Always check local regulations regarding size and possession limits.
