Start small and venture as you get comfortable..

Start in the april timeframe in the backbays off of keyport...

lots of stripers there in the spring... and you dont need to venture too far out. Also you will not have to deal with strong currents back there.

Once you are more comfortable, then you can start venturing out to the channels and such..

My biggest worry would be getting run over... Bunch of idiots drives boats if you ask me..

I would stay away from the hook for a while until you are seasoned... During the May timeframe - I can walk from boat to boat one mile out without getting my feet wet.
