Montauk (New York)

Montauk Point is the epicenter of Northeast surf fishing, where striped bass and bluefish stack up against the rocky shoreline during fall migration. The offshore canyon fishing for yellowfin tuna and bigeye rivals anywhere on the East Coast, and the annual shark tournaments draw hundreds of boats. It's the only place where you can catch a 50-pound striped bass in the morning and be in Manhattan for dinner.
