I agree with this especially in this fishery in decline. Sort of fine to cure the fishing itch, but I would rather fish in a managed fishery like for trout where this time of year as I often do not have to share the water with anyone. Winter is better served to catch up on home projects, tie flies, carve plugs, go skiing.

Bill Wetzel stated that striped bass were meant to take from the surf. I agree, and a bass of the same size taken in whitewater will fight ten times harder than any striper i have hooked in the river. Fishing the river can be fun but it is a placeholder for the real thing. Pretty easy to skip it and definitely not worth risking ones neck over.
