It’s that time of the year: the annual spring migration of city slickers and striped bass has begun. Beaches from West Hampton to Montauk will be teaming with fish for the next few weeks, and avid fishermen will be trying their skill and luck to catch them. The best time to fish is at sunrise, or just before dusk. For the ultimate surf fishing outfit, go to Whitewater Outfitters in Hampton Bays, where they have been making custom rods for generations. Fishing fanatics from Ernest Hemingway to Billy Joel have geared up at Whitewater. See Bryce, who will design a custom monogrammed rod for you, and provide everything you need to put dinner on the table! Fledgling fishermen can ask for legendary local guide, Steve Petrus, who will have you bringing in the bass in not time at all. 243 East Montauk Highway, Hampton Bays, 631-594-3336
