• Long Island and NYC Fishing Report- September 3, 2026 (onthewater.com) — Montauk anglers are seeing the summertime tuna bite fade south of Block Island, but local captains report exploding inshore action with bait, bluefish, bonito and soon‑to‑arrive false albacore. A Montauk‑based guide shares tactics, water temperatures, and what species to target next, while the broader report suggests albies may concentrate off Montauk this fall thanks to abundant forage.
