Striper Fishing Can be Tough on Your Hands

Did you ever fish for striped bass every night forĀ  two solid weeks? Tough on your hands. Yeah, the cold, the dampness, the salt, and roughness of a striper’s mouth turns your paws into mincemeat. And then there are those line burns caused by the backing smoking over your fingers. If one lands in the crease of a joint, it gets nasty. Back at the house we healed out mitts with Bag Balm, a cream farmers use on cow udders. Man, I miss those angling adventures.
