Ty Man finished up with over 1500Â stripers
Chuck Manny couldn’t hook a trophy striper from his Ty Man out of Cape Charles this week, but he did release schoolies two at a time. That brought Ty Man up to over 1500 striper releases from last March to this February between N.J. and Virginia. Not a bad year on a stock that’s far from its peak!
