Purchase options and add-ons

Each autumn, one of nature's most magnificent dramas plays out when striped bass undertake a journey, from the northeastern United States to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, in search of food and warmer seas. Writer and angler David DiBenedetto followed this great migration -- the fall run -- for three months in the autumn of 2001.

On the Run offers vivid portrayals of the zany and obsessive characters DiBenedetto met on his travels -- including the country's most daring fisherman, an underwater videographer who chucked his corporate job in favor of filming striped bass, and the reclusive angler who claims that catching the world-record striper in 1982 sent his life into a tailspin. Along his route, DiBenedetto also delves into the natural history and biology of this great game fish, and depicts the colorful cultures of the seaside communities where the striped bass reigns supreme.

    I am a striper fisherman, so I found the the book very engaging. It is a diary of the author's sabbatical following the striped bass fall migration from north to south. It is well written and has some interesting profiles of the regional striper experts along the Atlantic coast.

    My husband isn’t a huge reader but his a huge fisherman. He loves this book. It’s an adventure story about two guys chasing striper down the east coast. I’ve even picked it up and read a few paragraphs and I enjoyed it as well. It’s a great gift.

    Fantastic read. Just the ticket for the angler jonesin to hit the water but who can't get out there or one reason or another. DiBenedetto clearly has a terminal case of "the saltwater virus" so this book is a slam dunk for fellow saltwater anglers (as well as freshwater), but he writes so eloquently that the book would very likely appeal to non-anglers as well. But if you're looking for a solid gift for the fisherman in your life, this is great choice.

    If you like to fish for Striper and all of the adventures that go with that this is a must read! What a way to lift the winter doldrums and dream of getting back out on the water. There is humor, sentiment, and education on many levels whether it be the tools of fishing Stripers or the regions they inhabit. Don't miss this one and please practice catch and release when possible to ensure our children's children can enjoy this majestic fish!!
