1881 Striped Bass Fishing

I recently found an article from a monthly magazine published in 1881
entitled simply "Striped Bass." It is fairly easy to that the angler's
reverence of the striped bass is not Johnny-come-lately. Seems like
fishermen from the late-1800's pursued the striped bass as eagerly as we do
today.

Striper season for MD closed on December 15 and it has been one heck of a Fall season. By all estimates it was probably one of the best fall seasons we have had in quite some time. A lot of anglers hooked up with citations and personal best catches. There were plenty of Rockfish caught over 40lbs and some above 50lbs.

PHOTOS: Catch and Release Jetty Stripers

Maryland Striped Bass season has ended, but catch and release is still an option. Striper Dave proves to the skeptics that stripers still bite when both the weather and the water are cold - you just have to know where to go, when to go, and how to fish it once you are there.
