Not all striped bass migrate to southern waters every winter, and instead, for some reason, they decide to spend their winters in the many rivers that dot the New England coastline. From the largest of waterways, to the smallest of tidal creeks, there’s a good chance that at least a small population of stripers inhabit just about every tidal river of New England year-round. In this episode of the surfcast podcast, Jerry and Toby talk about the smaller rivers and how finding your own little gem can not only be extremely rewarding, but should be treated with respect for it can be far more fragile than the larger host river systems.
