This past weekend I was lucky enough to cross paths with and meet Mark Sedotti, a nationally renowned fly casti
ng instructor. Otherwise known as a “Master Caster.” As I watched Mark’s casting lesson, many things were of value. A few of these little gems just stuck in this sea-water logged brain of mine. First, and foremost, Mark says, that every single year, for the past eighteen years, throughout the east coast waters, and especially in Montauk, there exists a natural phenomenon. It is something so cool, that even a non-angler would respect it – the sacred – cue harp music and golden beams of lights … wait, are you sitting down? Take a seat, here it comes, it is the, the … fall striper run. Let me allow you a few seconds to catch your breath and regulate your heart palpitations. I understand, I know, it is like God’s nectar. Even typing those words gets me weak in the knees.

Here is what I mean by “fall striper run,” it is basically peanut bunker and other baitfish smashing the surface of the water, and landing onto the beautiful shores of the east coast in a feeble effort to escape my beloved striped bass and other big game fish like albies and blues.This season for me, has been a personal fishing best, and I would like to keep it going. We anglers have a limited time left to land those sought after species. Right now is the time to baton down the hatches and get ready for these next few weeks when it is as good as it gets and before our season fizzles down into being over for a mini winter hibernation. Over the next month, we here at the Eastcoast Angler would like to focus on the winning methods to score that catch of the lifetime. Those beasts are out there, lurking in our east coast waters, and as they say, if you got ‘em, smoke ‘em. Get those Fish – On 8s lures ready, clean out the Yeti cooler and get ready to fill it up with afore mentioned catch. Stay tuned for upcoming articles on the most productive methods of fishing to score big.
