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, Block Island, and Boston Harbor, and why it pays to beef up your terminal tackle when you’re into 30-pound-plus bass.
Plus, Captain Anthony Forte of Forte Guide Services out of Boston Harbor chimes in on what’s been a picky bite on silversides, juvenile herring, and tinker mackerel this past week, and how a recent push of adult bunker should lead to better striper fishing with artificials like XL topwaters, glide baits, and large soft plastics.
