This week on The Fisherman’s Long Island video forecast, we cover big news from the ASMFC’s striped bass meeting — no catch reductions for 2026, though a new working group will review future management due to poor Chesapeake Bay recruitment. We’ve got results from the Fred Golofaro Memorial South Shore Classic, including a massive 51-inch winning striper by George Lang, plus hot local reports of blackfish limits, steady striper action across the Island, and better weather shaping up for the weekend. We also run through a busy November lineup of tournaments, open houses, and flea markets and cap it off with a tog primer feature.
