Well, after some fear and worry, based on a very slow spring in Jamaica Bay, the Stripers seem to be in top force and thick just about anywhere you go. George Polsky as been out 4 times in the last week at Breezy and has gotten atleast a 20 pounder everytime. I will attach a photo here of his son Ollie who hooked a monster on his new all-in-one starter flyfishing kit.
Montauk is showing serious fish up to the mid40 lb range both from shore and boat.
I personally just finished 5 glorious days in a row on the flatsboat in Greenport. Luck brought us sun the whole week and tons of shots and lots of hooked/landed fish. They got pickier as the week went on as the winds become less and less but it was probably the best week of sight-fishing ive ever head out here. For this, I feel very fortunately.
So, where do we go from here. I can fish any of the east end short of Montauk as my big boat isnt ready, and can also fish Jbay out of the Regulator. Your wish is my command, as I have a few days free this week and looks to be sun until the weekend...
Thanks,

Brendan
