OVER-WINTER STRIPER SECRETS
by Capt. Al Anderson
This 265 pg., 21 chp., 87 illustration, 77 refs. book-effort is a revealing glimpse into the life-history strategy of many Hudson River-origin striped bass (Morone saxatilis), based on surprising observations carried out over a personal 13-year (1997-2009) tag and release study, in which better than 15,000 over-wintering fish were marked for science in the Thames River, CT. Eight other northeast O-W stripers contingents are profiled, seasonal problems are identified, SPIN, FLY and TROLLING techniques are discussed, and frequently asked questions about the fish and their tagging are addressed. Fly fishing enthusiasts will be amazed to learn (Wintertime Surprise in the Basin, Chp.) why this method has become so popular. Also, newly discovered info re: genetic memory, contingent formation, estuarine dependency for maturation, and recently discovered evidence of evolutionary history are profiled, supported by scientific research. Consequently, many related riddles are solved, along with reasons why the author has long been involved with fisheries research. Copies of this $19.95 soft cover book can be obtained from the author (AHATuna@aol.com), or on-line from www.xlibris.com, www.amazon.com, www.bn.com, or from your local bookstore.
