​So far this 2020 fishing season, I’ve gained a deep respect for the areas I fish.

​All animals need rest, and striped bass on Cape Cod are no different. In fact, I think stripers, tuna and other fish species probably spend a lot of time resting and relaxing-just like people! This past Friday I filmed 20-30 inch stripers as they were “sleeping”.
