Why not - I do. :)
Now, I can see paying to watch you fish...just for the entertainment
value... :}

No, if it's entertainment you want, come watch me fish. It's like, I
know there is something down there in the water, but I still have not
really figured out what it is.. After all, once in a while when I do
catch one it's not in the water anymore, it's all very confusing..

Well, if you ever get your butt down here, let me know, and we'll go out
and find some flounder or other good eating fish. It's only the plonkers
who chase after stripers, or, as they usually spell it, "strippers."

Another example of *if Harry doesn't do it, own it, or like it, no one
else should*. Millions of striper fisherman in the U.S., but they are
all idiots because Harry doesn't striper fish.......

I'm not much of a striper fan myself. *They are a good eating fish and
when they have some heft, can be a ton of fun on light tackle, but
your average striper, from a boat, isn't a real challenge.

Now from the surf - that's a whole different story. *It's a challenge
to work a striper from the surf or from rocks - that can be a real
blast and challenging.

I have three 50 lbers to my credit - 51, 54 and 58. *All were from the
surf at Watch Hill and Napatree Beach in Westerly, RI on an eleven
foot Ugly Stick rod, Van Staal reel and 20 lb test using a dodger lure
of my own design. *Can't beat that experience.

Anything above 20 lbs is a good fish and will give you a decent turn
of the reel. *Below that - eh.

We get a lot of the 20-28" stripers here. *They put on a good fight, but
most of us use light tackle. *Tossing HairRaisers on 7-12# test line. *Or 8
weight fly rods and Clousers.- Hide quoted text -

They do tend to come in a little lazy sometimes out here off the CT
shoreline...
