Montauk Rocks DVD
 

Just got done watching the DVD last night. It's pretty good.

Some good footage of actual fishing.

The best part is the old school guys talking about the beginnings of montauk and how insane the fishing use to be.

It's worth a watch, it's filmed well, and as far as fishing videos it's pretty good.

No scene cuts of guys fighting fish and using two different rods or crap like that.

Got mine in the mail cant wait to watch!!!

Interesting video. Lots off history documented. During the interviews, one common theme was complaining of crowds today...between the surfcasters, surfers, boat guys, cell phones and internet there is not much elbow room when fish show up and problems with etiquette. It seems today the younger generation does not have that virtue. In the past if you saw an older guy or group of men working a spot, you gave them plenty of room or just left and let them have it. Today there is a sense of "spot entitlement" and someone will walk up and cast right over your line and not think anything about it. ("I have every right to this water as he does" ), I like the scene of the guys sharpening the sides of the hooks to cut anyone's line to crosses. It is cut throat out there today. The quality of the video is excellent and it is enjoyable to view.

The same stuff happens at the Ditch. I think it's easy to say the younger people have no etiquette, but I see just as many adults acting like children down there. I think it just comes with the territory. Wherever the fishing is good and the access is easy you are going to see these issues...

Iam looking forward to seeing the video I think a lot of the the newer fishers that have takin up the sport in recent years lack a mentor. When I got into the sport it was a thing you needed if you wanted to go anywhere the Internet wasn't around so you needed someone to teach you about the sport.

a mentor ,thats for sure the only fish my father taught me to catch was flounder,most of what i have learned about stripers was read in a book or talked about here.

Another great place I've fished where I get the feeling I missed it ... Like BI ... You should have been here in the mid 80's .. That being said and having made the pilgrimage 2 yrs . now . I'm going back next year ,.. 5 hr. trip one way for me .. I plan on doing 5 days next year,, and as long as I can keep doing it . Just fishing under a light house George Washington built .. daaaammm

don't complain buddy, Cutty is like a 8 hour trip by the time we get on the island and I still cant wait to go there :-)

I look forward to getting back ,, even going to spend more time ,, just saying I feel I may have missed the glory days .

we all missed the those days but who is to say that the future somewhere might be just a bright..we just have to find it
Montauk in the spring has no more casters than the fingers on your hand...the rest of them are at Ditch :rotf2:

There was probably no one out today. I hit all the spots between Cupsogue and Amaganset and didn't see anyone fishing today. Only saw a few gannets though, so it wasn't promising :(. I was out there Veterans Day weekend, and it was a ghost town.

By no means am I complaining ,, Feel very fortunate to be able to do these trips now .. When the kids were little I was off doing stuff with them .

Purchased mine yesterday. I've heard a lot of good things about it can't wait to get my copy.
