I think most of us older guys have to consider themselves lucky to have experienced some of the best striper fishing ever and while we all might wish the stocks were at those levels again soon, I'm sorry future generations might not get so lucky.

I also consider myself lucky to have been able to share some of that with my one son who loves fishing and we also shared some epic smallmouth fishing in ME, with one 3-4 lber coming over the side all morning long. The fun of the morning being relived in front of a roaring camp fire at night will get me through any down time we have in this fishery.

I can still taste Greg’s marinated bear meat from one of the cookouts we had there and his deer meat chili is sooo good to. I need to give him a call and tell him I’m hungry, this is one of the few years he and I haven’t fished together.

True. Would be a really hard place to land one though.

Agree with GotStripers on this one, and also was able to share with my now 34 yr old son. He caught his first on a brand new small rod/reel combo from Bennie's at Dunn's Corner when he was about 14 years old. Didn't reel, just walked backwards till the 27.5 inch fish came on to the beach in Weekapaug. Dropped the rod/reel in the sand, ran down and practically tackled the fish... "Can we keep it?" No, a short... Has loved fishing for stripers ever since.

Most honest fishermen should not have to make any excuses if they are accused of targeting large fish. Whoever claims they are just as thrilled catching a schoolie is being less than honest.

Those were the days. I bumped into a lot of the old guard out there back in the day: Dangles, Habs, Bassmaster, Ice man 6, BigFish, SlipKnot, Flaptail, Tatoo Bob, Scarecrow, Redlight, BackBeach Jake, Chris L, and of course the regulars: LI Fish VT, Tuna, Jim Manning, my family.

Now you might not even see another fisherman on the beach in the middle of June. Sad

Back beach is suspect at best is he even a real person? Or just a myth, like Kaiser Sossseeey
