Chris, a couple trips for you and Ghosty :P :
A Block Island all-nighter. Catch the 7pm ferry out of Gallilee and you're on the Island 45 minutes later. The sun will soon set and you have an entire Island to fish before you get your lousy breakfast at the Airport when it opens at 6am (the waitress is cute but she has more tatoos than some women have bad hair days)... In those many hours of darkness you will work some of the most impressive striper grounds you will ever see. Truly amazing!!
The Squibby walk. Also beautiful bassy waters and while I must admit that I haven't walked the whole length, it is incredible fish country. This year, I intend to work this stretch of Striper legend all of the way, back and forth and inside out...
Also a true blast is wading Cotuit flats for bluefish!! When the conditions present themselves, you can wade out at least 1/4 mile to massive schools of 4-8 pound bluefish busting the surface as they quickly move in and out of range. You need to bring a longer stick as you are often casting a couple hundred feet with the water running by at chest height. Five minutes later, they can often be found busting 20 feet away... Not that swimming with the Bluefish is for the faint of heart...
A few things for you to think about...
