What were you fishing for?
The upper Thames River (past New London CT) has been producing an incredible
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.
here)

Striped bass. A fresh and salt water species. Sometimes large, but not
much of a fighter.
Ever catch a 35 inch 40 pounder on a fly rod or a 6 foot M spinning
rod with 20 lb test?
Yes to the flyrod, and I've caught 30# stripers on whippy little 5'
"ugly sticks," penn 4400SS spinners, with 8# test line. I don't think
they are great fighters.
To each their own I guess.
