There is a new book out by David Dibenedetto called On The Run. It is a bout fishing for Stripers from the coast of Maine to Carolina... Had the pleasure of meeting Dave and fishing with him. You will enjoy it..............

Thank you sir,

Got to put together the winter reading list and hunt down some appropriate Holiday gifts.

This sounds like a winner......... :)

Tattoo, it can't be you...there's no cooler nearby :rolleyes:

The book is a great read. Dave did a fantastic job of capturing the sheer essence of what the fall run is all about: normally sane people driven berserk by the schools of stripers that break our hearts by leaving us until spring...but hopefully staying around long enough to allow us to catch that fish of a lifetime.

The bar scene (Coddington Brew in Newport) in the book is destined to become more of a classic than the bar scene in the first Star Wars movie.

If Dave could have only spent more time with Iron Mike...but then again, there was so much he couldn't put in print already.

Blitz,

It was during a blooberry gathering two years ago. They're getting to be quite famous these days. Time for another one soon.

Just finished the book yesterday. Great read!

It was nice to see some familiar names / places and to get a true account about the run.

Well done!
