📰 News we're reading
• Long Island and NYC Fishing Report- September 10, 2026 (onthewater.com) — Montauk anglers are seeing an early run of false albacore, with Capt. Pete Douma reporting active fish on both tides and recommending tiny bay-anchovy imitations on fly or small epoxy jigs on spin. Bigger bluefish, bonito, mahi, and some inshore tuna are also around, and the broader Long Island report suggests the albie bite off Montauk should only improve in the coming weeks. 
• Recorded Deeds 08.27.26 (easthamptonstar.com) — Recent real estate deals in Montauk include a vacant Surfside Avenue parcel selling for $1.57 million and a Gravesend Avenue home going for $1.2 million, reflecting strong local property values. The broader list shows similarly high prices across nearby East Hampton hamlets, offering Montauk homeowners and buyers a clear snapshot of the current market.
