Book excerpt: In the long and rich history of saltwater fishing, few species are as close to the hearts of anglers as the mighty striped bass. More than two dozen of the best striper anglers and writers from On The Water magazine tell you how, where and when to catch this storied gamefish. Also included are insights into the culture and personalities that make striper fishing a lifelong pursuit for many along the beaches and rocky ledges, and in the rips off coastal New England.
