| Every now and then I get a chance to brag about something besides fishing. My most recent accomplishment-by-proxy was my daughter Katharine’s graduation from Harvard Business School. Attending the graduation ceremony left me with the impression that tomorrow’s business leaders are going to be a diverse lot, as young white males were heavily outnumbered by both women and minorities in the long line of graduates waiting the receive their MBA’s.
Attending Katharine’s graduation also left me on the East Coast at the end of May. My wife was occupied in her endless quest to unload her former residence in Connecticut. Never one to let a fishing opportunity pass me by, I decided to spend the Memorial Day weekend fly-fishing for striped bass in their ancestral home. Being a complete novice in the art, I engaged the services of Capt. Brewster Minton (see http://fishingwithbrewster.com/ ). Brewster is best known as a tuna hunter (see http://news.webshots.com/photo/2800379070095984024EjkDjY), but will also take clients striped bass fishing on the flats in Shinnecock Bay. One normally associates “flats” with bonefish and the exotic tropical locations. While Capt. Brewster can’t put you onto bonefish in Shinnecock Bay, he is an expert at finding striped bass from the polling platform on the stern of his 16’ Dolphin.
I’ve been bonefishing before, and found flats fishing for striped bass remarkably similar. Capt. Brewster spotted the quarry well before an inexperienced client like myself, gave me the range and direction, and told me when to cast. As your fly settles into the water, instead of twitching it, you tuck your fly rod under your arm and begin stripping vigorously. With a well-aimed cast, this often results in a strike. However, you must continue stripping your fly until the striped bass is soundly hooked. If you think of a bonefish as a thoroughbred, then a striped bass is more like a Clydesdale. It does not run as fast, but it is much stronger! I wore my arm out reeling in a 20 pounder while Capt. Brewster was urging me on to greater efforts so that I could cast to the other schools of striped bass coming toward us across the Shinnecock flats. All-in-all, one of my best fishing weekends ever! |
