In Episode 43 of Bay Rats and Buoys, Captain Gaige and First Mate Kory bring you another action-packed episode focused on striped bass and tuna fishing here on the North Shore of Long Island and beyond! With just 9 weeks to go until our 1-year anniversary, we’re kicking things into high gear with big announcements and even bigger fish stories.



We’re excited to officially launch the Bay Rats and Buoys Fishing Club, kicking off in early 2026! This community-driven club will bring together anglers who live and breathe the salt life — whether you’re targeting cow stripers inshore or chasing tuna offshore, this is for YOU!


 As the Hamptons Shootout gets underway this weekend, we’re also covering a hot topic on the docks: brown sharks! More and more tuna and striped bass fishermen are reporting sharks taking bites out of their catches while still on the line — and we’ve got the full scoop.


Due to high demand, we’re now running open boat fishing trips once or twice a week! Whether you’re looking to fish for striped bass, bluefin tuna, or just hop on with a great crew, now’s your chance.


 Big sponsor news is also coming in September — stay tuned for exclusive gear drops, giveaways, and more ways to get involved with Bay Rats & Buoys.
