Episode 53 – Fall Run Frenzy & Extended Giveaway! | Bay Rats & Buoys Podcast

It’s another action-packed week on Bay Rats & Buoys as Captain Gaige dives into the heart of the fall fishing season and announces some huge news for our listeners! The One-Year Anniversary Giveaway is officially extended through next Friday, October 24th, giving everyone one more week to enter for a chance to win a Star Rods Stellar Lite 6’6” Medium-Fast Rod paired with a Shimano Stradic 3000, spooled and ready with 20lb braid! All you have to do is comment “Congrats” and #bayratsyearone on any of our social media posts to get in on the action. The live drawing will stream next Friday, so don’t miss your shot at this premium setup that’s perfect for the tog, bass, and albie bite we’re seeing right now!

With the recent storm behind us, the crew is itching to get back on the water chasing striped bass, false albacore, bonito, and of course blackfish (tautog) — the season is officially underway and the bite has been solid! The Long Island Sound is alive with life right now, from giant porgies to a surprisingly strong weakfish bite, making October one of the best months to fish the North Shore. Captain Gaige asks “Where are the bunker?”

In this week’s discussion, Gaige also throws out an exciting new idea — an end-of-season Tog Competition for fans and followers of the podcast! No entry fee, just bragging rights, camaraderie, and a shot at closing out 2025 with a bang alongside your fellow Bay Rats. He’s calling on all local anglers and loyal listeners to message in with thoughts, ideas, and official weigh station locations to help make it happen!

Whether you’re on the boat, at the dock, or just dreaming about your next trip, this episode is full of laughs, salt, and late-season fishing talk that every diehard angler can relate to. Don’t forget to like, comment, and share to help grow the Bay Rats & Buoys community — and make sure you’re tuned in live next week to see who reels in the anniversary prize!
