Montauk Sportfishing report 11/3/08

11/3/08
Captain Bob Tuma, the last of the real "old timers", died Saturday. He fished the 2007 season, but was diagnosed with cancer that winter. Bob had flown a fighter plane off carrier decks in World War II, returned to go to college and had fished steadily in Montauk ever since.
I got to go fishing this past week. A friends son couldn’t work for a couple of days, so I mated on a few half day trips. We spent both trips mostly casting with spinning rods, and caught thousands of fish (or so it seemed), but it was pretty frustrating. We would pull up alongside schools of bass so thick that I could’ve netted them, but every cast only produced bluefish. The bass were fixated on bait only about a half inch long and didn’t want anything else. We did manage to troll up some fish, but all had to be measured, and we only kept a couple. Last November the fishing was kind of crappy, with only small fish around. Hopefully some better fish will move in soon.
If you would like to get these reports sent to you directly, drop me a line at captaingene@montauksportfishing.com and I’ll put you on the list.

Sorry to hijack, but do you know why a lot of the charters out of Montauk run over to Fishers for TOG? There were quite a few of them around where we were fishing. Are there not good spots around Montauk?

There are a lot more good spots at Fishers Island. A little later in the month they will be running to Block Island
