Strat-

Welcome to a great website!

Right on brother, fishing is fun, you guys have a great attitude and you will be catching bass this year, lots of them. The guys on this site are great, we will answer any questions you post, sometimes we'll even answer them honestly and without insulting you! That was humor, really!

I learned everything about striper fishing during my time as a mate on a great charterboat as a kid. If I now moved to a new area and wanted to figure out what to do, I would find a great guide and charter him on a regular basis to learn spots, techniques, tackle, rigging, everything. I'd be upfront and tell him that is what I wanted.

The guys here are right on.

Cuttyhunk can be a wicked dangerous place to go learn. We are not standing atop our collective soapboxes, but we don't want anyone to get themselves or their crew killed. And it is easy to do in that neighborhood. Rocks, monster tides and currents, fog, wind, yikes! I get the willies just thinking about it. I'd say stay the hell away from that part of the world. I love life and don't care to get myself killed for a fish. It isn't worth it. Literally, you can go almost anywhere nowadays and catch a striper, I mean it, anywhere.

My best advise is charter a great captain in the waters you will fish on a regular basis, whether it is the Bay, the Islands, where ever, and soak up all you can. And then it's just time time time on the water.

Strat,
Pick up an Eldridge tide charts, learn how to read them, the Ilsands are tough and the weather is rarely nice, but the currents can toss the hull out of you out there. The rocks are set at prop depth, many a hundred yards from shore, the fish only bite when the ebb is right and the afternoon chop can take out your jaw! Sow and pigs is a grave yard. Have a great trip, be carefull, and go large.

Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot.
