Summer is here and so are the stripers! The waters between Block Island and the Rhode Island coast are teeming with striped bass of all sizes, including many trophy-class fish ranging from 40, to as much as 62 pounds! There are still bonito biting in several locations across southern New England as well. Bottom fishers will find some impressive fluke in western Long Island Sound and those looking for sea bass should target the western entrance to Buzzards Bay. Make the most of this long holiday weekend! Happy Fourth of July from all of us here at The Fisherman Magazine, and as East End Eddie always says, “Catch a big one!”
