In this week’s Striper Migration Report, trophy-class stripers are pulling up off New Jersey while 30 pounders press east in Long Island Sound, 40-inch bass arrive in southern New England on the heels of herring and bunker, and migratory schoolies push through Boston to Massachusetts’ North Shore.  

Our first regional guest, Peter Jenkins of The Saltwater Edge in Rhode Island, fills us in on the array of baitfish in Narragansett Bay and how to capitalize on the recent wave of 40-inch bass. Then, Captain Brian Coombs of Get Tight Sport Fishing breaks down the bass fishing from Buzzards Bay to Boston with the passing of the May full moon.
