Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"With nostalgic pleasure Walters tells of fishing the Chesapeake Bay when catches of 30 to 50 big stripers a day were common, when schools that stretched for miles could be seen from the Bay Bridge at Annapolis, Maryland. We almost lost it all, he says, and tells why." ..... Richmond (VA) Times-Dispatch

"Tackle and techniques the author used and refined over more than three decades of striper fishing."

..... Salt Water Sportsman Magazine

"Smell the salt tang, hear the splash of fish at dawn, and feel the rod bend." ..... The Fisherman

"Walters in a humorous and informative manner, details the haunts and habits of stripers in all seasons."

..... The Baltimore (MD) Sun
