Seasons of the Striper is a visually stunning journey to America s
most epic salt water. It is as close to a firsthand experience as a
reader can get without getting wet. With a foreword by Peter
Kaminsky, this is the complete trout-fishing experience and the
ideal gift for any angler s library. Experience America s greatest
striped bass fishing with this richly illustrated volume, an ideal
gift for any angler s library. Commonly called stripers or
rockfish, Atlantic striped bass are among the most prominent and
heavily targeted recreational species in the United States. The
highly migratory fish can live for up to 30 years, grow up to five
feet long, and weigh more than 75 pounds. They are caught from
boats and from shore from the Gulf of Maine to Albemarle Sound in
North Carolina, and the striper hot spots sing like sirens to the
angler: Chesapeake Bay, Montauk, Martha s Vineyard, and Cape Cod.
The number of people who fish for striped bass is well into the
millions. This is the story of their fish. The author draws on
three decades of observations and interviews contained in
notebooks, as well the hundreds of hours he spends pursuing the
fish each season from spring through late fall. The essays and
photographs illuminate the fish through the seasons spring, summer,
and fall and highlight its pursuit from the surf and boats, through
day and night on fly, spin, and conventional tackle. Each section
has an accompanying essay fish tales told in Sisson s unmistakably
authentic voice that takes the reader along on memorable trips. For
the serious saltwater fly fisherman, it is an album of shared
experiences. For those new to the sport, it is an artfully crafted
guidebook to the unique world that exists on the striper waters of
America.
