I read David DiBenedetto's book "On The Run: An Angler's Journey Down the Striper Coast" this fall. Thoroughly enjoyable read - you can see my review here:And an e-store link here:One of the things that stood out to me while reading was that the author referenced a lot of different books, articles, websites and lures related to striper fishing and the history of fishing in these particular areas of the Atlantic coast. I had wanted to go back through and try to log them for future reference. Got the chance to do so and am putting the list in type below. The number in parentheses is the page from "On the Run" where it was referenced:
