The June Full Moon.
Forty-pound class stripers reach Cape Cod Bay and bass bust on herring from Massachusetts to Maine in this week's migration update.
Striper fishing quieted a bit in some locations, but in others, where schools of bass are staging as they wait for the big full moon tides to aid their migration north, this fishing continues to be excellent.
Long Island Sound is flooded with stripers of all sizes, the Cape Cod Canal bait melee continues, meanwhile 40 inchers crush topwater plugs in New Hampshire.
The Cape Cod Canal comes to life, Maine gets their first migratory schoolies and 40-pound bass spread from New Jersey to Cape Cod Bay this week.
Stripers bite well in the Jersey surf and inundate Long Island's back bays as Massachusetts sees its first migratory stripers of 2023.
As a fresh school of migratory stripers moved into the Raritan Bay area, a massive striped bass spawning event occurred in mid-Chesapeake Bay tributaries.
Stripers spawn in Chesapeake tributaries, big bass head up the Hudson and holdovers entertain southern New England anglers.
The Spring Striper Migration is officially underway!
