Knowing about the fish you are going after can help improve your odds as a fisherman. For instance, by studying the striped bass’ anatomy you can glean clues about characteristics and behaviors. Comparative anatomy is a science that compares the differences and similarities of organ systems between species. For example, a fish has a set of nostrils like a human does, yet, unlike a human, they are only used for smell, and not breathing. However, most fish just have a set of holes through which water flows. Yet, unlike most fish, a striped bass has a pair of nostrils on each side that maintain a connection between the nostrils and the mouth, like in humans. This actually allows for smell and taste to be integrated and shows us that the striper, as a fish, relies on smell and taste a lot more than vision to navigate through its world of water.

The least you need to know
submitted by capestriper
Let’s face it, most of us spend more money than we’d care to admit purchasing not only our kayaks but all of the gear we tote along with us on our fishing excursions. But, not all of us have purchased a VHF radio and carry it with us every time our kayaks get wet. The cost of a VHF radio is small compared to many of the other purchases we make without hardly even thinking about it and the value could be incomparable to even the smallest kayak fishing purchase you have ever made.

Part of the proceeds from this year's shootout will go to the Boys and Girls Club
of Greater Salem. The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem utilizes Winter Island in Salem for their summer camps.
Every $10 we end up donating provides a child with membership to an organization
that gives them a compelling alternative to youth crime, gang membership, drugs,
and other negative influences. As we get closer to the tournament we will post a
list of some items that the Boys and Girls club is in need of - like art
supplies, sports equipment and other items that you throw in your kayak as you
head out to the Shoot Out. Through your support, we might be able to
keep a few kids off the street and with a little luck, maybe they'll take up
kayak fishing and someday show you their secret hot spot in Salem Sound.

One of my goals for the 2006 season was to win a kayak fishing tournament.I set my sights on the 2006 NEKF Shootout at winter Island in Salem.I figured my experience at fly fishing for Stripers would give me the edge I needed to get my first kayak fishing tournament win. I entered the Shootout fly only division with confidence that I had a good shot at winning this event.I figured a 30" fish would be tough to beat on the fly so I set my plan in motion and targeted the Boston Harbor rip and Deer Island area as the best spot to get a fish of 30" or better on the fly. I had found some nice fish in that area prior to the tourney date and knew that decent fish would be present at night so I planned to fish all night during first night of the event.
