Hi Al in Westport,
Nice to meet you.
When I striper fish from the beach I put a couple of lines oout with either sand eels or mackeral chunk or clams. I sit in my beach chair and check the bait every once in a while. When the blues are running and hitting close to shore I'm chasing them up and down the beach like a nut. lol
When I boat fish one of us is usually plugging off the bow while we slowly troll the lead deep if in Boston. Down the cape we jig the bottom for the stripers or chase the blues around on top.
The only physical ailment I have is that I busted my knee a few years back so it bothers me a bit tracking through the sand or rocking in the boat all day. But a few beers later in the eveing seems to make it all better. lol
I've been tempted to cut the wrap off but I have a door so I've slowly been loading the gear...
