Before motoring out to Stellwagen Bank for some exciting bluefin tuna topwater action, we meet up with On The Water’s Jay Baver, who is jigging the waters of Woods Hole in mid-May during the annual squid run.

On The Water’s John Burke, fishing with Captain Keith Salisbury and Paul Castellani, tries take advantage of cow stripers’ insatiable appetite for adult Atlantic menhaden by live-lining the bait in the waters near Westbrook, Connecticut.
