striped bass hereabout. During the lat- 

 ter part of August and through Septem- 

 ber, he says, they are numerous on these 

 sods. The first hour of the flood tide up 

 to high water affords the best fishing." 



In the Hudson River striped bass have 

 given me quite my share of play, both in 

 the spring and fall of the year. Casting 

 from some of the rocks lining the shore 

 from One Hundred and Eighth Street, 

 New York, up the famous old water as 

 far as Yonkers, has often yielded a fine 

 three-pound beauty. Slack water, last of 

 the ebb and first of the flood tide, were 

 the best conditions. 



The heavy striped bass may be caught 

 in surf fishing on the shores of Long 

 Island from Long Beach to Montauk 

 Point; on the Jersey coast along the 

 beach above and below Long Branch, 

 and the beach at Sandy Hook, the beach 

 at Key East, and at Ocean Beach.
