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.
