Season On The Edge - Montauk 

I remember camping at hither hills in fall 1998 and 1999, it was super quiet and peaceful back then. Fast forward to 2010 when I had to stand at the top of hither hills at 3am on a Wednesday night to yell "shut up you retards, it's time to go to bed". Scenes changed big time from when I was a kid, and according to my family I've been around during the most drastic changes in the scene too. I feel like the progression of the 4wd brought a lot more people out as well, once they were more widely owned I noticed a huge increase in traffic out there. Between that and the internet I've literally watched the entire scene change out there

It sure was a drinking time when I used to go there in the 80s

its a shame the liars saloon is now gone

Thanks Bruce, Montauk is a special place.

Thanks James.

Fishing in khakis? 👎

Night fishing on a jetty is more dangerous.

Robert, direct message me on instagram at instagram.com/ig_kenbaldwin/

It’s fun

👍

When swim fishing was it hard to cast and reel the fish in ? It looked super sketchy

Thanks A M Madi that means a lot to me. It was a blast making the video.

What kind of fish do you have over there do you guys surf fish

Montauk isn't in jersey

love fishing the finger jetties in spring lake.....spend alot of time on ibsp

@jerzeyboi_fishing8437 yes, I know that. My work takes me all over the east coast, so I fish all up and down. Fishing RI tomorrow, God willing.

Thanks lots. You live in a great part of the states.

Ugly sticks. Kidding, CTS, Century, ODM, ect ect.

I like how he tells them not to lose his fish but he can't land them himself

I have used a gaff in the 1970's

ABSOLUTELY TRUE......That's the toughest most critical part of the end game when fighting/ landing a bass from a rocky shoreline.....This is why your leader needs to be at least 50-80lbs lbs test line and at least 36" long (or a long handle gaff in the lip ONLY) also its important to try to pre-plan where to lead the fish for the best possible spot to land it and not have it get trapped between the rocks

DJA, you get it. Thanks.

an original VS 100. A little small for the rod I was throwing but at the time I was a "Newbie"!

Season on the Edge you haven’t posted in a while why not you need to get back out there or give up the gear lol

This is just to the right of the lighthouse if you are facing outwards to the ocean.

first beach he was on i think was south shore @@seasonontheedge8942

If I remember correctly I think those are green peppers. I also like to throw black olives in with the fish. You can order Slap Yo Mama from Amazon.

Preston, you are obviously a man of fine taste! THANKS. 👍

Not a bad idea

Absolutely True....I have fished the rips of Monomoy.....Seals all over the place and Great whites patrol these waters routinely

Anthony Gregorio that's why these guys use van staals. Fully sealed aluminum body reels. Theyre made for this

Todd Spencer it’s like anything else if your not comfortable in the water don’t do it. No difference from those who surf dive or spearfish. Can’t knock people who found own way to have fun

This was back around 2007. It was a Lamiglas surf casting rod matched with a Van Staal reel. I still fish them today.

TIMS PRB102 sharks wont attack you unless you wear flashy items

Seriously? It's Montauk.

Froggington, I like that, that makes sense. I'll try it next time I'm on the surf.

Tala Tala thats not true sir. And a shimano Stella wouldn’t be able to withstand the corrosion and salt of being splashed and or dunked underwater

i watch japanese fishing videos for years.. they fish 10 pound seabass with a 5000 stella... they use the same size of reels you guys use for hiramasa which is yellowtail...

Wow, really?

How dare they call people googans... they’re the googans.

bcask61 agreed doesn't even look fun

their gear costs more than a lot of boats

Your opinion is as valid as you're existence.

bcask61 umm ? Jealous much 🤪

If you have never fished Montauk dont say its stupid.
