This foray into the Western Long Island Sound in search of big stripers was an unqualified success. The conditions were perfect, the bite was on, and the action never stopped and even included several double headers. Rich and Andy really put their tackle to the test battling more fish than they could count. Nearly all of the fish were in the 20 and 30 pound class. All of the fish were found in the shallows at depths no greater than 10 feet.
“This was the very first Northeast Angling show to air on TV. It may be a bit raw, but Capt Rich, producer Scott Braun, and I are still quite fond of it. We chose striped bass fishing as our subject, because we knew we would be successful. The hardest part of this show was getting bait!” Capt Andy LoCascio
