I don’t know if The Clash ever fished for striped bass, but they might as well have been singing about it in their early 80s hit. So, when do you admit defeat and leave a mark? When do you stick it out? These questions and more are addressed in “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” written by yours truly. You can read it in the current issue #81 of Surfcasters Journal. This e-zine is available by online subscription only, and its written by some of the best surf anglers in the Northeast. Oh! it’s only 20 bucks a year! You can subscribe here.

It’s an excellent online journal, that is very specific to surf fishing, both spinning rod and fly rod (and occasionally conventional). It’s a great read, with lots of great info. And great fishing authors, like some guy named Steve who contributes some articles on fly fishing.
Thanks, George. We all appreciate it!
where does the word “mark” come from? Is that a britishism or a local term from part of the Striper Coast?
I stole it from my Brit friend Mike Oliver. I’m keeping it. It sounds sufficiently jaunty…
