New Book: Striper Wars – A must read!
New Book: "Striper Wars"
"Striper Wars" is well written, comprehensive and insightful...as much a celebration of the striped bass as a story about its recovery.
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
The book is a must-read for any angler who understands the allure of stripers and striper fishing, and it's also a call to arms for a grassroots push for effective ecosystem-wide management.
#^&#^&#^&#^& Russell has written one of the most important books you can read regarding our favorite gamefish. It is available at Amazon and other local book stores.

I remember #^&#^&#^&#^& Russell being at many of the meetings where striper stocks were being hashed out. I was very involved in the process back during that time period. Some of us had the foresight to see things were not good with the fishery. The Comms - both trap and pinhook fought every conservation measure proposed. I remember the first time the #^&#^&#^&#^& came to speak at some of the RI hearings. The RI commercial crowd didn't want to let him speak because he was a "Mass resident." I told #^&#^&#^&#^& later in the meeting that I would read his prepaired statement if they wouldn't let him speak. The officials did eventually let him speak his piece.
I vaguely remember #^&#^&#^&#^& saying at the time that he had "never caught a striper" and wanted to be able to catch one in the future. I couldn't believe someone who had never caught a bass would be willing to work for its protection.
Thanks to a handfull of people up and down the coast and the "PCB" contamination scare the striper fishery was probably saved.
Looking forward to reading the book.

Just picked up a copy at Borders - tough to find - they've got it in the "Animals" section - Right next to books about training your bird!  |

I see from his web site ( http://www.#^&#^&#^&#^&russell.org/striper.htm) he will be (in my hood) at "Bunch of Grapes" bookstore doing a talk and signing some books the day before I leave for a few days R&R with the family at CH....I can't think of better reading material for that trip...

read the book in 2 sittings. I still have rods with 34" and 36" marked on them for measuring bass during the moratorium. Yes, we did have a 36" minimum. There were no 15 pound fish being killed back then. Thank God for folks like #^&#^&#^&#^& Russell, Bob Pond, Jim White, and the countless other fishermen who realized that the Striper what on the road to extinction.  |
No boat, back in the suds.
