Synopsis of Twenty Years on the Cape: My Time as a Surfcaster By Frank Daignault

   A family biography on rod and reel commercial fishing from the beach for striped bass set on Cape Cod, M during the 60s and 70s. The late Frank Woolner, reviewing for Salt Water Sportsman in 1990 said that, " Daignault 's is a love story of wonderful fireside reading for all who adore Cape Cod and its storied mix of striped bass and bluefish While the author has worked in many anecdotes, he does not neglect the occasionally different and productive techniques from years on the beaches. Dspault is a skilled writer who can combine how-to and romance to ensure pleasant reading It is the story of an era that we will probably never see again."

   The author has woven the rise and fall of striper populations with the growing up of his four children who ply the "Striper Surf' during their formative years. The book drips with the kind of adventure that it would take a lifetime to experience. Reviewing for the New Jersey Beacon, Rick Heirize said, "If you think the most hazardous surf fishing episode is a night on the 8th Street jetty, read the chapter entitled "Aces and Eights". and you'll be spitting out sand in your living room."' Twenty Years ... was first published by M/T Publications in 1989 and soon went out of print. It has been a much sought after striper book since the post moratorium period of increased interest in striper fishing which inspired this second printing Judith Bowrnan, New York rare outdoor books collector sold a mint copy last February at a trade show for $35 and said that she could have sold a hundred.

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."   Soft Cover, 6" x 9", 182 pages,  $16.95

Striper Surf by Frank Daignault

   A how-to book for surfcasters Striper Surf is a compilation of information on striper fishing methods which include fishing with baits, plugging, rigging an eel, and fly fishing Four parts: "Locating Stripers -- Where and How"; "Surf Tackle and Equipment'; "Methods'; and "Striped Bass -- Trends, Traits and Behavior". This last section contains a 50 page section on the natural history of this most popular species. Comparisons of today's linesides with the so-called "good old days"; and a dreamy look at what has been experienced in the past with the truly huge -- some over 100 pounds -- moby stripers.

   Things that have never bow written anywhere are revealed about striper behavior and evidence of their presence. As a result Daignault has an almost cult following in the New England striper surf -- Cape Cod, Rhode Island and the river outflows of Maine. Joe Tucker, trapped in Calgary Alberta, recently said "I boiled down much of what Daignault said in Striper Surf to fishing at night, at an inlet with a plug at the right time of year on the    Vineyard and caught more bass in one night than I had previously in my whole life.

Daignault says that he is the last of a dying breed who knew Arnold Lane, Charley Murat, Pergo Felice and Frank Woolner -- legends of the heady days when Cape Cod surfcasting was only first being discovered when even townies didn't know there were bass on the beach. Frank often writes of his pals, "the Jersey bunch" and New Yorkers, who were viewed with a certain resignation because of what they could do with a surfrod and rigged eel -- a skill imparted to Daignault by them. 'Me author bridges Ins anachronistic past with the today of post moratorium striper fishing.

       Striper Hot Spots: The 100 Top Surfcasting Locations from New Jersey to Maine 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.

   However, 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.
