Bio: Hi, my name is Capt. Ken Rafferty and welcome to my web site. I am a Fishing Guide located on the East End of Long Island, N.Y. based in Three Mile Harbor, East Hampton. I have been Fishing these waters for over 30 years and Guiding for the last 15 of those years. I'm told I'm an amicable and a patient Guide who will go out of his way to make your day on the water a pleasant and successful one. In the early spring ( MAY ) you can choose to go for Stripers and Weakfish and soon after as the season progresses ( JUNE ) those tenacious Bluefish arrive and stay with us all summer long right into the late fall, joined by larger Striped Bass that like to hide among the rocks in our bays, harbors and on our flats where you can go site-fishing for them. In the fall season ( SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER ) the harbors, inlets and bays get inundated with bait fish such as Sand Eels, Bay Anchovies, Squid, Bunker, Herring and right there to feed on them before migrating south are larger Striped Bass, giant Bluefish, Bonito and False Albacore that can range up to 15 lbs.
[Montauk,NY] Another week of Great Bluefish action in Gardiner's Bay. The water is so warm you would think your going to catch your fish already cooked.
[Long Island,NY] Here is some 'Hot Fishing". July was good but I think August is going to be better. September will blow you away!
[Long Island,NY] Larger Bluefish should be moving in real soon
