February isn’t lights-out striper fishing.
It’s grind fishing.
You might scratch out one or two. But it’s not wide open. And that’s okay.
This is the time to:
Re-spool
Upgrade leaders
Stock up on Wild Things
Dial in your spring kit
At CatchHappy.co, we’ve curated the exact setups you’ll need when the bite turns on.
Because when Spring hits - you don’t want to be scrambling.
You want to be ready.
👉 Stock up now at CatchHappy.co
Spring striper season waits for no one.
Thanks for supporting small local tackle shops. It means more than you know.
