Striped Bass Blitz: Cut Opens, Fishermen Go Crazy

This is a fisherman's dream. It doesn't get better than this. When the Town Trustees open Mecox Cut each year, baitfish from the bay are washed out into the ocean and it's like ringing the dinner bell for striped bass—and fisherman. As fishing-fanatic Dan Honan said, as we drove onto the beach at the Cut: "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." Pretty much all you need to say.
