Thresher Shark
Montauk offers a unique thresher shark fishing experience compared to warmer climates. Here, you're fishing in the Atlantic, and the season is shorter, typically running from late June through September. The waters around Montauk are known for their abundant baitfish populations, drawing in threshers in search of a meal. Look for areas with strong currents and temperature breaks, as these often concentrate bait and attract sharks. A local tip is to pay attention to the moon phase, as threshers often feed more actively during certain lunar cycles. Star Island Yacht Club & Marina is a popular launch point for shark fishing charters. Be prepared for cooler temperatures and potentially rougher seas than you might expect further south.
