Captain Mike Roy at Reel Cast Charters said striper fishing is good and they are starting to see the fish start to settle into their summer patterns. For them, that means fishing with live baits for big bass. They are fishing with a variety of baits and this week they saw bunker, butterfish and even squid show up in the cast nets. They’ve also encountered a few large gator blues in the 12- to 15-pound range on most trips. Black sea bass will be open everywhere again this week and that bite should get better and better as the season progresses. Captain Mike said he expects some really good fishing over the next few weeks and they have openings after July 14.

Captain Mike Roy at Reel Cast Charters said striper fishing remains to be really good with some impressive numbers of big fish around. Artificials are still working really well but the live bait bite has been furious. For artificial lures they did well again this week with 9-inch Slug-Go’s and 7-inch Fin-S Fish on jigheads really shined. They also saw some good topwater action for larger fish on spooks like the Shimano X-walk. As far as live bait goes, securing bunker can be tough but it’s well worth the effort if you can find them. They saw some more very large bluefish in their catches this week including gators to 15 pounds.
