Morning! Conditions are lining up nicely off Montauk today. Incoming tide peaks at 6:12am, water's sitting at 61°F — right in the striper sweet spot — and full moon was last night so fish should still be aggressive. SW winds at 7mph all morning. Reports from Stripers Online showing fish to 36" near the Point this week. Get out there early. Reply with any questions! 🎣
