The striped bass is almost always known to as the “striper.”
Like largemouth bass fishing, striped bass fishing has
caught on to become one of the most popular sports and
leisured activities in North America. In fact, in some
places like Cape Code, it is one of the most acclaimed
forms of angling throughout the season. Both children
and adults can participate in striped bass fishing.
Although bass can be found in many different spots
throughout the North American continent, the striped
bass often resides on the Eastern Seaboard, ranging from
the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Southern Georgia.
Part of the reasons why striped bass fishing is more
popular in Northeastern states and Mid-Atlantic states,
other than Southeastern states, is because the perfect
spawning temperature is somewhere in the mid-range for
striped bass. Normally,the striped bass will spawn when
the water is between 59 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. If it
gets hotter than that, the quality of the eggs can be
affected by the higher water temperatures. This means
that the striper have to travel to deeper and cooler
waters when the temperature of the water starts to
increase.
In the Springtime, striped bass fishingis is becoming
even more popular in the Northeastern United States, as
striper travels up the Eastern Seaboard to spawn to
waters of optimum temperature. Usually, the female will
lead and several males will follow – the purpose, of
course, is to spawn further North and down the coastline.
In the Fall, again, as water temperatures cool off,
striper re-emerge from colder, deeper water to be
visible on the Eastern Seaboard, which means that
striped bass fishing once again becomes extremely
popular.
No matter where you reside or what season of the year
it happens to be, striped bass fishing is almost
guaranteed to be an interesting endeavor, as striper is
one of the largest variations of bass – and is known
for putting up a fierce fight against anglers. Good luck
with your Bass fishing
