Montauk Boatmen and Captains Association

Montauk Boatmen and Captains Association At that time the MBCA was representing the charter and party boat captains. That mission has expanded to include the recreational fisherman and boatmen.

The MBCA was founded by a group of local captains for the purpose of insuring that their voices were heard by lobbying politicians both at the state and federal levels. As a volunteer organization, the MBCA has many dedicated individuals who donate both their time and money to support the cause of the charter and headboat industry as well as the wider recreational fishing community. At the meeting

s members get together in a social environment to discuss pressing issues and concerns. We welcome local businesses and marinas, and encourage both professional captains and recreational anglers alike to join. It is imperative to preserve our resources, and we at the MBCA need your involvement.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Some great competition underway in our 2025 fluke tournament. Congrats to the current leaders. Let’s see if they can hang on to that lead. Still a few more days of fishing!

As promised I would do a mid tournament update of the current standings. There’s still plenty of time left but as of the close of scales today these are your top 3 placers.
