For a change, let’s actually talk fishing. Why? Because we can, bro, we actually can.

There are invite-home stripers occasionally hunkering up to the beach line. Beach Haveners have caught a few. Most shops have had weigh-ins. Those striped hook-ups are bait-caught fish, though I like to think some vets are using good, old, tin squid eels. It’s a dying early-season tradition.
