New England is in the midst of a supercharged spring striper run and everyone is getting in on the action. With sizes averaging in the upper-teens to 20-pounds, and many fish over that size, the striper obsessed are walking around in a dream state and now we’re seeing some stripers in the 40-pound class entering our waters. In addition to all this striper excitement, we have the first real fluke reports of 2026 coming out of Rhode Island, while the tog bite remains strong in Massachusetts and Rhody… including one keeper that was bested on a Disney Frozen combo! We cover a lot of ground in this week’s forecast, don’t skip it!
