I have fished for striped bass from shore using bucktail jigs for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, I would often cast bucktail jigs from the beaches of Cape Cod Bay before and after school. Bucktail jigging is a technique that’s been used on Cape Cod (and all around the world) for …

It’s still super early in the season to be fishing for stripers. The first migratory schoolie striped bass of the year probably won’t show up for another three weeks. Nevertheless, yesterday afternoon I felt that familiar “itch” to head out and give striper fishing a try regardless of the fact that it’s honestly too early to …
