Kenny's presentation about the world of the striper and it's feeding habits will help anyone from novice to experinence angler.If you are looking for a book that will help you take fishing for stripers from a random act to a science you will not be dissappointed. It was a pleasure to read again and again

5.0 out of 5 stars Very solid ,insightfully written, January 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Striper Moon (Paperback)

This book is different than any of the new striper books that have come out in the past few years in that it is unique and written from experience rather than theory and hearsay. It is not a rewrite of previous efforts but is a source for many of them. It is a book that is often quoted in content but seldom acknowledged as the the background resource for much of the good information about striper fishing available today. Everyone who has read this book that I have talked to says that it is the only striper book that is really needed. They are right.

It's "different" alright: too much earnest style and mysticism for the money. I have no doubt Abrames is a good fisherman and loves the striper and its world --but you gotta wade through the mucky prose of the post/neo Romantic style to get out to what Abrames knows. It is apparently meant to be EXPERIENCED --perhaps read by moonlight to a woman in an Edwardian dress in Blake meter. The doors of perception into the striper world swing open but it's still just a beach and saltwater and a primitive vertebrate from which I want to elicit a feeding response. The transcendental drawings ARE lovely, but they show less than meets the eye, and any one of the new primers of fly fishng for stripers are better esp. Taboury's "Stripers on the Fly" (Lyons/1999). This is waa-aaay too different.
