No more calls, thank you, we have a winner.

I know quoting oneself as a source is a slippery slope but in another thread I said this in response to Flap:

"The point is, if you want to save striped bass start with they water they live in. Water is important. After all, like WC Fields said, fish f**k in it. Let's try to see to it that they continue to do so".

Water quality is the 3rd side of the triangle.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
