Catching a Keeper on the Cape
2 min readDec 6, 2021
Massachusetts law does not require much,
but from a Striped bass it demands 28 inches
or else back in the water faster than you can
pahk your cah, and hope next fly line flick
attracts a bigger fish from the brackish depths.
This isthmus is a place of Puritanical desolation,
stay for two days and you are guaranteed
weather both glorious and inescapably bad,
