Definitely better to drive to New london and do the orient point , shelter Island , Hamptons ferry route. I haven't done it in years but did it about 20 times back in the early 80's. It must be fairly expensive for the ferries now but it beats all the driving going towarsd the city and back out.
I used to love fishing Montauk but stayed away from under the light. I fished turtle Cove to the light then past the light all the way out to shagwong point and beyond.
Rigged eels were better than anything in November , even better than live IMO
Is the shagwong cafe still there? That place had real character and characters!
