Stripers are the backbone of sport fishing in Massachusetts. They get big, they fight hard, they're plentiful, and they hit
in many different ways. You can catch them by trolling passively, trolling actively (wire-line jigging), chunking bait, or,
my favorite--sightcasting to fish that are cruising the flats or that are busting on bait.
We find sight fishing in the southern parts of Cape Cod bay quite excellent in June, while Buzzards Bay becomes a mecca come fall. In addition,
there are great populations of striped bass in Plymouth Bay that can be caught on the flats in 2-4 feet of water! That's a blast on light tackle.
