Hold over Stripers. Who's fishing

[agsurfr]

I read a book about hold-over stripers by Al Anderson. He did a ton of tagging in the Thames for a major research project. He has a strong science background. It is his contention that catch and release in very cold conditions puts less stress on a fish than the same process in warm water. For what its worth.

BTW he tagged and released 1000s of stripers in the Thames. Pretty interesting book too.

I agree that the winter bass , IMO look to be healthier & have more energy than catching one in July /August / especially in you fishing inside ;;
I can count on one hand the number of bass I,ve seen belly up in the cold months ...I can,t count as high as the number I,vs seen in the [normal] season ;;

If winds lays down / I,ll do a early trip tonight ><><
