3.0 out of 5 stars Striper: A Story of Fish and Man, December 5, 1999
By A Customer
This book has an interesting story and is in fact well written. It is important for the purchaser to understand that it is written about early commercial fishing and not about the fish as one might expect, particularly if one is a fan of traditional hook and line pursuit of the striper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute poetry for the man lockstepped with the sea., February 21, 1996
By A Customer
John Cole is a master - this book in which he indicates his experience as a youth with the Long Island haul seining community with friend Peter Matthiessen is a masterpiece of memory, selection, and prose that borders on poetry on teh second or third reading. Matthiessen's treatment of the same experience in Mens Lives is much more objective and almost cultural anthropology, a virtute in its own right but without the spirit of the man John Cole must be. If you love the ocean, fishing, striped bass or the like, buy it and you will not regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely well written and thoughtful work on the striper., June 16, 1998
By A Customer
I would recommend this book without hesitation to anyone who likes fishing, likes the water, or enjoys a well written book on experiences with nature. Right now this book is still glowing in my mind, and it has been days since I put it down.
