Montauk Fishing Is Not All Fun; Dad Has to Clean the Catch (Right) So popular is Montauk's sport that hundreds ride the Long Island Rail Road Fisher men's Special from New York City every Saturday and Sun day from mid-May to No vember. Those content with smaller game board party boats for bottom fishing or trolling a few miles offshore. There they may catch pollack, fluke, porgy, blackfish, bluefish, and striped bass. The more adventuresome ride out into the depths in search of giant tuna, sword fish, or a white marlin like the prize at left, the hook still dangling from its mouth. For such sport they charter swift boats like CalibanII (opposite page). Caliban carries troll ing outriggers, harpooner's pulpit, and ship-to-shore tele phone. Troughs for cleaning fish are part of the accommodations for guests at Fishangri-La, a Montauk lodge. © National Geographic Society Kodachromes by B. Anthony Stewart
