Surrounded by the Atlantic, this island acts as a magnet for migrating stripers, particularly during the spring and fall runs. The island's rocky coastline, numerous boulder fields, and strong currents create ideal ambush points for these predatory fish. Successful anglers focus on areas where structure and current converge. Live eels are a local favorite, especially fished at night around Southwest Point or North Light. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves and depths to find what the fish are responding to. Access can be challenging without a boat, but there are several shore fishing spots, particularly on the island's north and west sides. Be prepared for strong winds and changing sea conditions – Block Island is known for its unpredictable weather. The stripers here can be massive, with fish over 50 pounds a real possibility.
