Beach vs. Boat

It is illegal. There are a couple of spots you can land on but they are sand beaches and provide little in the way of current or structure like the boulder fields do. I know some guys who get dropped off but the terrain is really tough and tiresome and they do get some fish but nothing like drifting a hundred feet off shore and casting to the rocks. The fish there tend to sit tight to the shore and are not shore shy at all as no one is there to disturb them. A good 75 % of your hits come in the first ten feet out and your plug must land within a foot or two of the dry rocks.

I grew up in Worcester MA. and no place in New England, maybe the northeast, had more influence on the development of striped bass fisng as we know it today. FW was our Rod and Gun editor of the local paper, and his circle of friends form the central mass area went out as prophets and spread the word.FW's brothers Jack and #^&#^&#^&#^&, Arnold Laine from Templeton, Charlie Whitney from Shrewsbury, the Kissel Bros and there sons from Worc and Millbury, Townsend, Gray, Kukonen, Leo Perry and his sons, Paul Tessier and it just went on and on. I consider Worcester the birthplace of the Striper nation, especially here on Cape Cod.
