Here what I would have like to have seen.

- The typical "fall" season for Mntk, for example , fsih migrate in Sept and stay until Dec. Some basic idea of when the fishing picks up and when it ends.
- The lure talk was insulting, he says that Mntk regulars would never throw a needlefish becasue of the rocky condicitons....HUH? I throw heavy neeldefish at some of the most rocky places in RI, needlefish are top water lures, even when retrieved slowly. Then later in the article he mnetions that thee do throw needles when the sand eels move in, but reccomends a slow sinker.
Then he says to throw buck tail jigs...huh? Inconsistent concepts

- could have added more history about the place

I am not trying to be a jerk, I really did not like his style, seemed lke an 8th grade book report. Didnt win me over.

I am sorry that you find it unreadable and believe me I find your criticism refreshing and helpful however you might get the facts strait before you put them on line as things gets twisted fairly quickly in the internet vacuum.
-I apologize that you found lure talk "insulting" but I re-read and article five times and I cant find it anywhere were I said that Montauk regular would never throw a needlefish because of rocky conditions.What I did say was that needlefish are very productive when sand eel reappear and that slower sinking needles are preferred than heavy sinkers because of shallow waters.Please don't invent what's not in there to suit your agenda ,whatever that might be.
-bucktails were mentioned as a daytime top produces,nothing to do with needles,again ,you are taking too much of a liberty to twist the article .

I do find your comments refreshing .Now excuse me while I reach for my Preparation H again. Its going to be a loooong day.........darn nor'easters
