Montauk Rocks will take its viewers on an unforgettable journey with their own neighbors. A fringe group, which exists right in our midst, yet whose motivations, inspirations and adventures, are completely unknown to the majority of society. This is not your granddaddy’s fishing, no snoozing under a straw hat waiting for a perch to put a bend in the old cane pole. Fall surf fishing at Montauk bears more relation to Alaskan crab fishing than it does to just about any other type of “sport fishing”. Armed with custom made graphite rods of 11 and 12 feet, $700 hand made reels and space age braided lines, Montauk’s anglers, dressed in neoprene and Gore Tex, will take on the worst the Atlantic can throw at them through the often frigid fall season, and often just for a story to tell to like minded souls. Every year tackle and bones are smashed in the waves and on the rocks that define the Montauk experience. Doctors are roused from their beds to remove hooks from faces, hands, and legs. For some it’s a one-time deal, not something they wish to make a habit of. For others it’s not just the fish that get hooked. For everyone with a sense of adventure and a taste for pure unfiltered, undiluted adrenalin it’s a must, even if only once.
