I write to you in a striper-induced fog. Three pre-dawn trips in a row with a sprinkling of some here and there hour long trips after work have left me feeling some type of way. Let’s just say I’m not in mid-season form yet. But that’s okay. Because the stripers are here for real this […]

Quick little update for you stripers fiends this Friday afternoon (what day is it, really?).

If our catch ratio of big fish the past two trips were a batting average, we’d be in the Hall of Fame. Batting .500 is great for baseball–but not great for fishing.

The canal was loaded up this week. I mean the bite was hot hot hot. But if you’re reading this, you don’t need me to tell you that. Just pull up your Facebook and you’ll see a hundred posts of anglers holding up big dead stripers. I won’t talk about the canal here, because when […]
