I'd never touch those rips on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday either : ) Been a tough bite here too man. Making due with what I have.

Those are some studs!! I watch a lot of surf fishing videos and you are one of the best at consistently catching monster stripers. I enjoy your channel, please keep them coming.

10k subs, congrats! I remember seeing your knife fish vid on my sidebar, subbed that day, fun ride ever since. btw, you spooked me with that blue so close to the twigs n berries, pls don't do that ever again lol.

I've been watching a lot of kayak fishing channels,   that's what brought me to your channel.  You do catch a lot of monsters.  Thumbs up and subscribed.  Great job!

Montauk is simply the best. This is coming from someone that has fished block island, Cuttyhunk and CCC. Montauk of course has its negatives one being the crowds at times but there is just something special about the place. Maybe the history of the area and fame. Who knows.

+FishAholic Fishing I love the videos and I actually on some weekends travel out from orient point to montauk and fish around that lighthouse

[jamesireland]

another cool video can't wait for some vids in RI

[danm]

Rich, you put in great effort into the fishing and videos. You don't need to make videos constantly. Montauk is not a bay or jersey. It's rougher. I say do some surf casting videos in place of kayak, less work that way.

[fhiggins]

Try fishing for stripes in southern New Hampshire. Then you will know tough striper fishing

[tazdaddy]

When is the best time to come down there to catch gator blues? Thinking of planning a trip down to fish for those. Let me know and keep the videos coming great job.

[marlonacosta]

[jinsters]

Beautiful fish! Can your homemade rig change weight on the fly?

[thomasdenis]
