I grew up in Massachusetts. As a kid I fished the bays and later the canal. I never caught a Striper. When I got out of the Navy I again tried my luck with Stripers. Luck means No Luck. Again, never caught a Striper. I moved to California and finally, finally I caught my first Striper. All of 6 inches, caught in the Yuba River just North of Sacramento. Small, but my first! I've fished long and hard for Stripers with some success but nothing large. I'm back on the East Coast now and will beat my biggest, a 33 inch.
Did you know that Stripers were transplanted to the West Coast from the East Coast? They've done well. There's a large population of Stripers on teh West Coast now. They tried the same with the Maine Lobster in failure. Good!
