“This was actually a very tough show to film. The surf fishing bite in Montauk can be unreliable at times. The fish and the wind/surf conditions can change in an instant and shut the bite down. It took three trips before we got into the bite we needed late on the third day. It was truly a pleasure fishing with the legendary Fred Golofaro!” Capt Andy LoCascio
