for many years ,,,,,,,,,I felt that there was only one fish in the sea ...the Striped Bass.
I was so wrong ..I,ve been having a ball catching a varity of fish ,if you adjust your gear . then you have a whole new ballgame of trying to figure out the habits & patterns of other fishes ....For me it have been a great learning & humbling experience ......IMO ............. don't let the whole fishing adventure be consumed by the STRIPER ><><

I haven't caught a keeper striper in two years, but that's primarily due to the fact I just don't target them anymore. It's black sea bass, fluke and tog that have all my attention, but I've caught a ton of schoolies. At times the small bass are more of a pain in the arse then fun, because I can't get the plastic down to the BSB or tog. I don't know how long we have to wait for this little 12-15" fish to pull drag, but hopefully the regulations won't get stupid again and there will be some numbers to catch.

See how much fun I had the day we fished off the shore in your boat and I was catching blues with a habs with no hooks ?
