In Week 14 of our 2026 Striper Migration Reports, Johnny McIntyre is joined by Jimmy Fee to discuss summer baitfish patterns from Montauk to Maine, stripers settling into summer haunts like Eastern Long Island, and Block Island, and why it pays to beef up your terminal tackle when you’re into 30-pound-plus bass.
