Two keen anglers from the UK have been watching the satellite fishing programmes and have become obsessed with catching some stripers and bluefish. We have decided to visit the Montauk area in the very last week of September/first week of October for a weeks fishing and have booked up two charter days but have another 5 fishing days to fill.

What we were really hoping for was the opportunity to meet up with some local striper anglers that would be keen to take two competent anglers but complete striper novices out to some of their favourite fishing areas whether it be shore or boat. Obviously anyone willing to share a day out on their boat would have diesel costs fully covered. Ideally we would like to lure fish or fly fish for them but are openminded to all methods - obviously as we are travelling across the atlantic and have limited fishing time we would like to maximise our chances.

We are both avid anglers and have a 14ft dory day boat which we use for saltwater bass fishing on inshore UK waters in the summer and for pike on the rivers. We could offer fishing trip favours in return in the UK for anyone that is able to help us out with some quality striper experiences. Myles is a professional angling coach/guide in the UK and offers all sorts of guiding through http://www.carpschool.com/. Huggy is just a keen angler that targets all species. I'm sure we'd have something to offer anyone visiting the UK.

Any striper anglers out there willing to share some fishing time (and some drinking time) with two fun English anglers? Any boat anglers in need of some company and all their fuel/bait expenses paid for?
Would welcome any info on anything Striper related in the Montauk area around October time such as locations and favoured methods etc... All help and info welcomed.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Huggy & Myles :gob_icon_cheers:

The Gathering of Anglers (aka The Korkers Cup Tournament) is the first weekend in October, which is also Columbus day Weekend and the Montauk Strawberry festival.
Be sure to book your rooms early as that weekend is a madhouse out there.

My Striper clubs trip (Shark River Surf Anglers) will be taking place that same week, last few days of Sept. first few of Oct, so I'll definitely be there at the same time you are.

If you have a pair of waders and a surf rod you're welcome to come along for a night.

Thanks Guys. Sounds like we need to bring quite a bit of gear what with the requirement for chest waders etc... - fingers crossed we'll get away with not paying excess baggage.
Will be keeping eyes on the site and no doubt asking a few more questions as we get closer to the trip.
Sudsy - thanks for your offer. Will get in touch closer to the time as we would love to tag along with you guys.
I keep dreaming about catching that first striper :a_dreaming:
