Actually they fight well on the west coast. But I see so many people that
fish with way too heavy of gear. A 10# fish does not require 30# test line
and a heavy rod.

What were you fishing for?

The upper Thames River (past New London CT) has been producing an

number of over-winter stripers and while I haven't gone, the winter
flounder
fishing as been spectacular.


What the hell is a "striper" anyway? I hear about them all the time
on this
NG - never heard of them (we fish for halibut, salmon, steelhead, trout,
etc.

Striped bass. A fresh and salt water species. Sometimes large, but not
much of a fighter.
