    Windy AI 08 July 2026
    The Race, the powerful tidal passage at the eastern end of Long Island Sound between Connecticut and Long Island, is one of New England's most legendary fishing locations, where the extraordinary tidal rips create exceptional conditions for trophy striped bass, bluefish, false albacore, and bonito in one of the Atlantic coast's most powerful tidal passages. Spot Features: The Race is the powerful tidal passage between Plum Island (Connecticut) and Orient Point (New York) in the eastern Long Island Sound, one of the most powerful and productive tidal rips on the Atlantic coast, creating extraordinary striped bass, bluefish, false albacore, bonito, and black sea bass fishing in the Race's treacherous currents. Seasonality: Striped bass are the primary target at The Race (the easternmost point of the Plum Island passage between Plum Island and Orient Point, NY) from May through October, with the legendary Race tidal rips concentrating bass in spring and fall. Bluefish are abundant through summer and fall. False albacore and bonito are exciting fall visitors. Black sea bass are summer bottom fish.
