“Stripers have always been a major focus for Northeast Angling.  We have worked hard to provide content with loads of striped bass techniques.  There is more striped bass video on the Northeast Angling YouTube channel than anything else.  The reason is simple, anglers simply spend more money effort chasing stripers than all other species combined.  We hope that everyone appreciates our striped bass tips.  We worked with the best captains in the region and experienced some of the very best action so that we could share it with our viewers.”  Captain Andy LoCascio – Long Island Fishing Charters
