The Trophy Striper
by Frank Daignault
A technical examination of what goes into the development, location, management,
methods, conditions, mind and even luck as they play into the mix of
contemporary striper fishing issues. This is an anecdotal accumulation of
fascinating experiences which could only come from a fertile mind which had half
a century of striper fishing. Moreover, it is historical, humorous, sensitive
and ever striperphobic while it predicts monster linesides the likes of which
few living memories have ever experienced. The 52 pictures -- mostly bigger bass
than any we've ever seen -- will have most breathing heavy while Daignault's
cult following will express no surprise. Jerry Gibbs, Fishing Editor of Outdoor
Life, calls The Trophy Striper "the single best strategy for dealing with the
new wave of stripers by a master who lived through the old glory days of
monsters."
Rip Cunningham, Editor in Chief of Salt Water Sportsman, says "You will not find
any more or better information on how to find and land that illusive
wall-hanger."

Striper Hot Spots
(2nd Edition)
by Frank Daignault
This directory of traditional striper fishing locations runs south to north pinning
down the author's "Striper Coast" for surf fishers who went to know more about
where the best beach fishing can be found. Each spot is rated I to 5 fish like movies and
restaurants. Specific directions on how to drive to each listed place am revealed. Spots
winch are seasonally dependent have the best months listed. Methods, which are chosen by
local tradition, where known, are exposed. And conditions winch make a hot spot a little
better -- a favorable wind or tide -- are included. There is an interesting blurb on each
location, some more complete than others. Most of the spots have a local shop, with phone
number~ that you can call to inquire about the fishing. Those that don't offer an
interesting and informative "tip" on surf fishing.
You can almost tell where Daignault has fished himself by the vitality which comes
through in his treatment. of the spot. The author relied upon trusted correspondents for
many of the places, like Morris "Black Cloud" DeGenarro in New Jersey. Jack Bennet
and John Chiola, even sent a runner to count all 121 jetties in the stretch from Manasquan
to Long Branch. Connecticut officials largely compiled that state's park fishing because
little else is accessible. The Block Island regular who revealed hot spots there has
remained anonymous saying, "are you trying to get me killed?". The late Dr
Robert Post of Reading the Water fame, wrote the entire section on Marthas Vineyard. Frank
says that they quarreled over this because Post wanted all Vineyard spots to be 5 fish.
Captain Ray DeCosta and Bill Pew composed all of Nantucket, Daignault key boarded it. This is not a curl up and read type of book like the author's others.
Any surf fisher who is traveling to unfamiliar territory will find Hot Spots
an invaluable reference with amazingly accurate details that can make the difference. First
published by the Globe Pequot Press in '93 Hot Spots had two printings, was then revised
in '96, and was printed twice. Seems to be a keeper.

techniques with epoxy and silicone revolutionized saltwater fly tying. The
family of flies Bob Popovics developed over the last three decades (dubbed
"Pop Fleyes," a spelling that incorporates part of his last name with the
fact that eyes are a prominent feature in their design) have proven
devastatingly effective for stripers, bluefish, false albacore, and many
more species. This book goes beyond the basic recipe format to provide the
thinking behind Popovics's pattern development, a guide to key tying
techniques, and detailed notes on how to fish Pop Fleyes most effectively.
"The most innovative fly tier I have ever known." --Lefty Kreh on Bob
Popovics "Bob Popovics has brought more creative ideas to the table in the
last two decades than any other tier out there." --Dan Blanton
