Whether you are a fisherman, an outdoors enthusiast, a lover of the ocean or simply have a bucket list item or two that needs checked off, Montauk New York is on your radar.
This magical place on the eastern tip of Long Island, known as the Fishing Capital of the World, and for good reason. Drawing anglers from all over the world, Montauk offers a variety of fishing opportunities, one of the most thrilling and sought-after “bucket list” experiences, and speciality of the local, Tailwrapped Sportfishing Charters, is by far, tuna fishing.
Tuna fishing in Montauk is legendary, especially in the warm months when these powerful, fast-swimming giants migrate to the waters off the coast. The waters here, rich in nutrients, provide an ideal feeding ground for several species of tuna, particularly bluefin, yellowfin, and bigeye tuna. Chances are you won’t find a bigger challenge and adrenaline rush, combining skill, patience, and the excitement of battling some of the ocean’s most formidable fish. The size and strength of tuna make them an appealing target for sports fishermen. A successful catch requires precision, the right gear, and the expertise of locals like Captain Jim “Sean” McSwigin who knows the waters intimately.
