Striper Fishing the Rocks
presented by Allan Butler
One of the most exciting places to fish for striped bass is a rocky shoreline, whether it is from land or boat, we will be talking about how to fish it whether seas are flat or there are mountains of water crashing on the rocks.
Allan will cover: what to look for, the best times, what to use when you are there, and how to land your catch. Hardware, flies or bait, he will go over what you need to do to put yourself on fish, beginner or seasoned angler.
For over 40 years Allan Butler has been a Fishing Guide, Outdoor Writer, and Public Speaker, most of it spent guiding for stripers with both spinning and fly. Allan’s style of guiding has always been foremost about instruction and showing his clients how to fish our great waters!
Request information on renting a booth at the show.
Many thanks to all our sponsors who support the club and donate items for our raffle table.
