Looking for world-class bluefin tuna action? You've found it. Montauk's waters are absolutely on fire right now, and Captain Lady Grace knows exactly where these big fish are feeding. This 10-hour offshore adventure takes you to some of the hottest tuna grounds on the East Coast, where we've been consistently hooking up with quality bluefins just 25 miles from the dock. The Lady Grace V has earned her reputation as a top-rated charter boat in these waters, and once you feel that first screaming run, you'll understand why anglers travel from all over to fish with us.
We're talking serious offshore fishing here - this isn't your typical half-day trip. Ten hours gives us the time to really work the best spots and chase the bite wherever it leads us. The beauty of Montauk is that we don't have to run 50 miles to find quality tuna like some other ports. These fish have been staging closer to shore lately, which means more time with lines in the water and less time burning fuel. Captain Lady Grace keeps the crew small at just 6 anglers max, so everyone gets plenty of rod time and personalized attention. No meal service on this trip, so pack a cooler with your favorite snacks and drinks - trust me, you'll work up an appetite fighting these fish. The Lady Grace V is rigged specifically for tuna fishing, with all the electronics and gear you need for a successful day.
Our bread and butter is high-speed trolling with spreader bars and cedar plugs - a technique that's been proven in these waters for decades. We'll run a spread of 6-8 lines at different depths and distances, covering maximum water while we search for feeding fish. When we mark bait or see birds working, that's when things get exciting fast. The Lady Grace V is equipped with top-shelf Penn and Shimano reels spooled with 80-130 pound test, because when a 200-pound bluefin decides to take off, you need gear that can handle the punishment. We also carry chunk bait for when the fish want something different, and Captain Lady Grace isn't afraid to switch up tactics if the trolling bite slows down. The key is staying flexible and reading the water conditions - some days they want the lures screaming by at 8 knots, other days they prefer a slower presentation.
Bluefin tuna are the ultimate gamefish, and Montauk waters produce some genuine giants. These fish are built for speed and endurance - we're talking about an apex predator that can swim 40+ mph and dive to incredible depths when hooked. Right now we're seeing fish in the 60-300 pound range, with the occasional monster pushing 400+ pounds showing up on the fish finder. Fall is prime time for bluefin fishing off Montauk, as cooler water temperatures bring huge schools of bait inshore, and the tuna follow. What makes these fish so special isn't just their size - it's their fighting ability. A hooked bluefin will make multiple blistering runs, often taking 200+ yards of line before you can even think about gaining ground. The meat quality is restaurant-grade sashimi when handled properly, which is why these fish command such respect among serious anglers. Peak season runs from September through November, but we've been seeing excellent action extending into early winter as bait patterns shift.
The tuna bite in Montauk is as good as it's been in years, and word is spreading fast among the fishing community. Lady Grace Sport Fishing Charters has built a reputation for putting clients on fish when other boats are struggling, thanks to years of experience reading these waters and understanding tuna behavior patterns. With only 6 spots available per trip, quality dates fill up quickly - especially during peak fall fishing season. This is your chance to experience world-class bluefin fishing without traveling to exotic destinations. Book now and get ready for the fight of a lifetime aboard the Lady Grace V.
The Lady Grace V is built for serious offshore tuna fishing in Montauk's productive waters. This motorboat handles the 25-mile run to the tuna grounds with ease, equipped with GPS and radar to navigate safely in any conditions. The fish finder helps us locate schools and mark productive spots, while the VHF radio keeps us connected with other boats sharing intel on the bite. With air conditioning onboard, you'll stay comfortable during the full 10-hour trip, even on those hot summer days when the tuna are running strong. The boat accommodates up to 6 anglers, giving everyone plenty of room to work their lines and fight fish without crowding. There's a head onboard for convenience during the long day on the water. Our trolling setup has been producing consistently this season, and with the tuna moving closer to shore, we're spending more time fishing and less time running. The Lady Grace V's stable platform makes it easy to handle big fish when they come to the boat, whether you're battling your first yellowfin or you're a seasoned angler chasing a personal best.
