Four Letter Word. Starts With F.

   Fish. Fall. We are coming into the fall fishing season. For me one of the four most exciting of the four fishing seasons. As the foiliage starts to change  and you gals start wearing those tight cashmere sweaters that I love so much , I start to think of jack perch  and schooling stripers. The third game of the NFL season marks the beginning of the fall striper run. As the gagillions of eel  fry start heading towards the sea and the blue crabs migrate up into the river, the striped bass arrive. Not the giant spawning fish of spring but the five to ten pounders. Check the regs . I think they gotta be 18 inches or so and it may be one or two fish a day in the Hudson.
       Perch fishing is truly the sport of kings, not horse racing. Worms early and minnows right before ice.
Fashion tip: Wear orange for fall fishing, the fish won't see you, but the gals in cashmere will.
