Okay..I caught my 1st striper in Eastham at the herring run when I was about 13 or 14...I went over to the river empyting into the bay and picked up a herring,put it on the hook and cast it out..Had my brand new waders on from Goose Hummock and a brand new rod and reel I got for my birthday..I put the rod in my 12 inch spike and went roaming the beach..All of a sudden I heard a plop..Look over and my rod was gone..^&&t..Parents are gonna kill me..I waded out in the water and I could the line my rod made while going towards the old target ship..
..Well I made the trek back to the cottage and told my parents what happened..They werent to happy..
We went church (sunday) amd came back home..By them the tide was going out..If you know thye area the tide goes out for about a mile..I went back down to the beach and started walkng out..
I l;ooked out and in one of the tidal pools I saw a splash..Yup..I got my 1st striper and also got my rod..
The looks I got walking down the beach at low tide carrying rod and striper were priceless..
