I finally read the article after just receiving my magazine. I think Z did a very nice job with it. A lot of good info on the surface and between the lines without being overspecific about spot details. Books could be written without covering everything.
Montauk is such a big area to fish and each area has it's nuances that take years and years to learn. Don't expect to score big on your initial trips there. Enjoy the beauty of the place, take a nice walk around and scout out some productive areas and stop in Freddies bait and tackle in town. Vinny, the owner is a great guy and he will straighten you out.
There are also many different groups that interact; locals, regulars, wetsuiters, googans, tourists, daytrippers, clubs and now it seems a Jersey invasion. Each scratching for there share of those striped ghosts.
Although I don't approve of some of the guides methods, this can be a short cut to gaining access to and productive techniques to catching fish.
It's a different place to fish. If you go and take the time to watch the sharpies you will probably learn something you can apply back home.
