Abstract

This article from the Atlantic Monthly examines the practice of wetsuiting, a type of fishing for striped bass that involves swimming or wading out to offshore rocks. The author follows Brandon Sausele, an avid wetsuiter, as he seeks out the largest striped bass near the shore. The article explores the dangers and obstacles of wetsuiting, including lack of sleep, hazardous conditions, and encounters with sharks. It also discusses the decline of wetsuiting in Montauk due to factors such as rising housing costs and decreasing striped bass populations. The article provides insight into the experiences of fishermen in Montauk who participate in this unique form of fishing, highlighting their passion and commitment to the sport.
