Boston Blitz: Big Stripers Off Boston Harbor
23 min · Aired Oct 14, 2026 · Hosted by
When the stars align, and conditions are just right, large schools of ocean-going stripers move within range of fishermen in Boston Harbor. That's exactly what happened in Summer 2020, when Captain Brian Coombs of Get Tight Sport Fishing found big schools of BIG stripers smashing large baitfish on the surface. Brian called OTW's Chris Megan in on the bite, and the two enjoyed an exciting summer day on the water, running-and-gunning after blitzing bass just outside Boston Harbor.
