Capt as Handy posted, All you need is a New York salt water fishing registry card. You can get it for free online. You can Google the site "Decal NY"
If you want to run up soon and not wait I don't believe you will have a problem. I have never seen anyone being checked or heard of anyone being checked for the registration. It's kind of the same type registry as in NJ.
The only other thing would be the cost of parking which is $8 to park in the "Montauck LightHouse State Park" where the light house is and almost all of the fishing is done.
Oh and gas is up to $4.80 a Gal up there, so try to fill up before going into NY.
It can be a zoo up there at times. Like now the word is out that the bite is on and the crowds are on the beach. I have even seen 1 fisherman chasing a pod of blitzing bass walk under another 3 fisherman's rod and line as they were plugging Just so he could keep up with a passing school of blitzing bass. Also alot of guys think it's a must to cast right into the pod of bass so they will cast across 3 or 4 pluggers lines to try to have their plug or metal right into the fish. It is worth a trip if even to see the beauty of blitzing bass like they are up there.
My advice would be a midweek trip

You may need an East Hampton parking permit if you chose to park at any other beach in the area, read the signs !!

Re: Montauk permits?
Thanks for the replies - did make it up no blitzing bass
Did manage to catch them anyway - saw no one else catching anything but zzzzzzzzs
Meet 126Andy which was awesome - always good to meet people you interact with online
Missed meeting Smitty as we left after the bite shut down once the sun was up - hopefully he found some fish for the afternoon bite
Let you in on a little secret - when there is bait in close swimming out to the furthest possible rock you can brave means you probably swam over the feeding bass
We caught all of our fish in close - one that hit my burble bomber as I was about to lift it from the water (two tips there - finish the retrieve and BP Bomber - i like jointed ones )
Seems like everyone was hard at work with pencil poppers - except the bass
