The Striped Bass--
Enjoy------ " no other species evokes the mystique of this extrodinary handsome silver-goldblack striped fish. None other is more demanding of both accurate and intimate knowledge of the natural enviornment. None is more directly driven by the wind and the tide, by the currents and moon phases, by the infinite and subtle restless mysteries of the sea. No fish is more challenging to catch. None is more frustrating to pursue. Striped bass,most notably the biggest,solitary member of the species,do whatever they want,whenever they want to.Consequently few fisherman will sacrafice, the countless hours and endless effort that it takes to uncover their secrets and catch them with any degree of consistency. To do so demands taking a giant step beyond mere commitment,into the realm of true obsession. It is a realm that places the quest for striped bass before work, before sleep, before warmth, before food, before comfort, before family, before all."
