Black sea bass season opened a couple of weeks ago, and the fishing has been good. With their long tendrils and iridescent blue coloring, black sea bass may be the most exotic-looking fish in our waters. They may also be the tastiest.

Kevin Blinkoff of On The Water magazine joins us to talk about where to target black sea bass, and where the bite is hot right now.

We also get an update on stripers: bigger fish are moving in, and stripers are now in Cape Cod Bay.

It's all in just 4 minutes - give it a listen.
