I haven't been Striper fishing yet. I wouldn't even know where to start gear wise.
I'd be up for that.Sandy Neck Beach in Barnstable/Sandwich is great. Drive the 4x4's right out on the beach, have a fire and do some fishing. Maybe we should plan a group outing?
I love striper fishing. I may miss the early season this year. I'm going to give turkey season a try.
I'm looking forward to getting my jeep on the beach (Screw the plovers) with my surf rod in the back and catchin some fish!

Hey, now! Don't be hatin' on the plovers. They're great. Taste like chicken.
I would be careful about catching some Herring for bait. If Im not mistaken there is a notice on my desk at work from the NMFS stating there is a moratorium on herring and no fishing for them is allowed.
That said, I will be out fishing between the jetties here on Nantucket in May with eels. Crankin' 40 inchers out of the channel on a good outgoing afternoon tide. I own a Seafood market so once things kick in for the summer I dont have time to fish,all the fish I see during the summer are caught by someone else.
It's not just the harvest of herring that's illegal, it's also the sale and possession.I would be careful about catching some Herring for bait. If Im not mistaken there is a notice on my desk at work from the NMFS stating there is a moratorium on herring and no fishing for them is allowed.

Is that because the population is down?
That's exactly the reason. Here's an excerpt from a good article on the subject:Is that because the population is down?
