May 15, 2025Bay Rats & Buoys Podcast | Season 2, Episode 30: Lights-Out Bass Bite & Changing Conditions
In this week’s episode of Bay Rats & Buoys Season 2, we’re podcasting straight from the boat in Huntington Harbor as the striped bass fishing action heats up! For four straight days, the bite was absolutely lights out, with bass crushing everything we threw at them—until Friday, when the bite abruptly shut off as the water temps shifted. But don’t worry—by the weekend and midweek, the bass were back on the chew, this time favoring white mojos over last week’s go-to chartreuse. Tune in as we break down the lure changes, strategies, and what’s working best when we’re not live-lining bunker or chunking for big bass.
We’re also kicking off fluke and porgy season, as party boats flood in from Queens, Bronx, City Island, Mamaroneck, and New Rochelle, all looking to cash in on the incredible fishing happening right here in our backyard. We know how lucky we are to fish these waters—and if you’re ready to experience it for yourself, now’s the time! Book your private fishing charter at SandCityCharter.com and let’s get you on the bite.
Don’t forget to sign up for the Bay Rats & Buoys First Annual Striped Bass Invitational, happening Sunday, June 22, 2025, in the Long Island Sound! With water temps fluctuating between 52-57 degrees, and 40-pound bass cruising our area, this is prime time to get out and fish. We’ve got weekday charters with no crowds, so hit us up and let’s chase some trophy stripers while the action’s hot!
