In the final week of our 2026 Striper Migration Reports, Johnny McIntyre and Matt Haeffner sit down with Liam O’Neill and Jimmy Fee to share their observations from the entirety of the spring run, discuss some personal highlights and dark spots, and what's to come this summer as fish fill in to the north while bass in the central Striper Coast adjust to warmer water temperatures. Plus, we get an update from Captain Lou Tirado of Diamond Pass Outfitters out of South Portland, ME, who discusses a strong run of river herring in Vacationland, early-summer striper patterns as the fish exit the rivers, and the baitfish that are setting up from bays t beachfronts as the June full moon approaches.
