Hey Zach,

Stripers in our lakes grow approx. 3-4 lbs/year once adult schoolies. After stocked as a fingerling it takes approx. 2-3 yrs to see these fish as 2-3 lbers. Then they grow… A 4 yr old fish should be about 6-8 lbs. They usually only go til 13/14 yrs before dying off…

If you want to stay right around Boston Harbor, there’s lots of fishing to be had, then you should get a copy of Jack Gartside’s “Fishing Boston Harbor” by going to the eponymous website and ordering. This book will tell you tons, one hint though would be that Jack chose to live in Winthrop, which is a peninsula on the north side of the harbor and has quite a good variety of spots in close proximity, that’s where I go when in the area, and Jack’s book explains how to fish the spots.

You can contact Dave Skok when in Boston. Dave will shore guide anglers in that area mentioned above. He fished alongside Gartside for years. You can google David W Skok and get all his info. He is a photographer, fly tier and shore guide.

You can find them fairly regularly on Ebay….

You just gotta be willing to spend a minimum of $1800-$2000 for a used one
