Fishing NewsFrom Tim Creighton: Here is a letter I received from the Littoral Society. Amazing that a fish we caught on the Cape gets

caught two years later in NJ. It had probably been down and back twice. Is that an average growth rate for a striper? Prettyinteresting stuff!

November Bonefish Trip!This November, six Salties took a little trip to the AndrosIslands in the Bahamas to try their hands at some bone

fishing. The result was 165 total bonefish caught andreleased unharmed over a four day period. Not bad for

some old diehard Striper boys. Pictured are SteveUnsworth, Jeff Roy, Vin Foti, Richard Hentz, Rick Enz and

Kalil Boghdan. Check out some pictures on the galleryunder Nov. Bonefish trip.
