Stripers bite well in the Jersey surf and inundate Long Island's back bays as Massachusetts sees its first migratory stripers of 2023.

Use a small boat on Raritan Bay to catch migratory striped bass during the spring run.

Before the migration reaches Long Island, make the most of the “pre-season” striper fishing.

Most anglers can agree, catching their first fish of the season is a wonderful feeling, especially if they spot the little hitchhiking sea lice on the fish’s backs.
