In Week 13 of our 2026 Striper Migration Reports, Matt Haeffner and Johnny McIntyre cover the influx of shortfin squid from Rhode Island to Cape Cod Bay before discussing the mix of bunker, mackerel, and sea herring in Boston Harbor, and the implications of a strong summer sand eel run from Massachusetts to Maine. It's the final days of the spring migration for Maryland and New Jersey, where stripers are only just beginning to settle into summer locations and patterns. Meanwhile, with spawned-out bass still exiting the Hudson River and a new moon this Sunday, anglers from Long Island Sound to Maine have some very good fishing to look forward to.
