Welcome to Bay Rats and Buoys Episode 31! In this action-packed episode, Captain Gaige shares what we’re using right now to catch big striped bass in the Long Island Sound. From live bait tips to top-producing lures like Doc Spooks, white mini mojos, and trolling rigs, we break down the tackle, techniques, and tides that are working best for catching keeper striped bass and overs this spring.
We also feature the epic Mother’s Day striped bass trip with the Cavasos family—Mom kicks it off with a fat 35” over slot, Dad follows with a 36”, and the two 10-year-old daughters crush it in the fighting chair, each landing a 31” striped bass!
Captain Gaige also shares tips on VHF Channel 16 etiquette, mooring safety, and staying aware when navigating high-traffic areas. With big waves rolling in Tuesday, we still found the bite heating up with topwater action and jigging success.
Whether you’re a fisherman, angler, boater, charter captain, or just obsessed with striped bass fishing, this episode has the gear, tactics, and coastal fishing insight you need.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
