Hi Al

Boy,

Got my present in the mail from SWE yesterday and waltched SGW last night. What a great production. The one thing that stuck out at me and I guess not surprising was the lack of fat fish. Mike called this the new breed. There were a couple bellies that went down but most fish bellies and body shapes aft of the head seem to go up/slim than down/fat.

you can thank Omega Protein for the lack of guts as well as the depleted Herring stocks

Striperondafly,

You've got that right...the fish out of the Chesapeake area are not getting the right forage when they need it the most. Omega needs to have their quotas cut back even more. I attended the public hearings and spoke against the current cap as being way too liberal a quota. Furthermore there are significant problems with mycobacteriosis that is being swept under the rug.

I found out just yesterday that there is a move to outlaw chumming for stripers because it could contribute to the problem by actually feeding the bacteria when it’s done in the low salinity backwater areas of the Bay.

The striper fishing fleet tends to gravitate to certain areas where up to 100 boats anchor up and then chum like mad. It’s getting less productive each year and the bottom in a lot of these areas is turning into dead zones -- void of life, including worms!

The myco problem is a lot like AIDS in the early years…everyone said it wasn’t their problem; it was a problem within the gay community. We now know better. The percentage of fish that are infected is staggering and it’s a death sentence. You don’t see that much written about it because nobody wants to piss on the birthday candles that the striper “recovery” represents…it’s the ONLY success that fishery management has to hang their hat on and they don’t want to give it a black eye.

Don’t forget, a lot of those fish from the Chesapeake are on loan to us in the summer.

Again, I just want to say thank you so much for your kind words regard SGW, I am truly humbled by some of your comments.

Mike

Mike

i bought your video from SOl on a hunch. It is incredible, I am learning alot. I think I missed you at the EastBay seminar. I wish that hadn't happened. thank again

[Squibby17]

I was dissappointed I didn't get it for christmas through I asked for it. I did get "On the Run" and read it in one night which made me want SGW yet even more. Luckly my birthday is next week and I sent the link to buy it on my wish list!

[EricM]

I just want to add my thanks to this list- each time I watch this latest dvd a new detail or nuance comes through- its very clear that a great deal of time and thought went into every frame of this production. Your passion for the striper and for the sport is evident throughout the piece, and many thanks to you for choosing to pick up the underwater camera and work so hard to share with us your unique underwater view- it has changed the way that I look at the water and think about fishing for stripers.

Thanks again, please keep up the quest!

[BassDawg]

ABSOLUTELY FEESHNOMINAL!!!!

What an aweinspiring production. Thank You is too mild of an expression to relate my deepsest gratitude for the information, action, fish-eye's view packed footage you've assembled for us all!!! The entire Striper Coast is indebted to your heart-felt love of and your profound dedication to our most beloved quarry as witnessed by the mountainous effort you've afforded them and us.

I cain't get enough, nor do I want to, of any and all chapters. The ease with which one can pick and choose where to go, or to play over, and over, and over one's favorites speaks to how well you've formated our journey into your truly amazing world!!!

The only drawback is the grim realization that nothing short
of laying into those COWHUNAHS at The Hunk will ever suffice!!

KUDOS, Mr Mike, KUDOS INDEED!!!
