Fishing Orient

Montauk, Orient and Greenport: Montauk Point is one of the most famous surf-casting spots in the world, especially in the fall run.

What's biting now (Fall): The Montauk fall run: striped bass, bluefish and false albacore along the beaches and points.

Commonly caught in this area: Striped bass, bluefish, fluke, porgy, black sea bass and false albacore in fall.

Also caught here: false albacore, scup, tautog, black sea bass, winter flounder.

Shallow flats fish best on a rising tide that pushes fish up to feed. Move slowly, wear polarized glasses and look for tailing fish or nervous water. Cast ahead of fish, not on top of them.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
