Chesapeake Bay 2021 Striped Bass Reproduction Below Average for Third Consecutive Year

When following the fall striper migration, creating stories is as important as catching fish.

Knowing which striped bass fishing techniques to use can mean the difference between taking advantage of a big blitz, or leaving the area empty handed.

Congratulations to Jim Zito who won a brand new NorthCoast 210 Center Console fitted with SIMRAD Electronics and powered by Yamaha Outboards.

10 stops along the fall striper migration where you can follow bass from Labor Day to Christmas.

Big schools of bunker (menhaden) have made a comeback and fuel big-bass bites from the Jersey Shore to Long Island and from Mass Bay to Maine.

SPRO has expanded their Power Bucktail line to add heavier weights and custom combinations of bucktail hair, vinyl strands, and long hackle feathers.

The colliding currents, big boulders, and sand beaches at the end of Long Island become a striped-bass playground from early summer to late fall.

It’s been a very sharky summer off the South Shore of Long Island.

August is worth a second look from anglers willing to expend some extra effort to catch the bass that quietly slip by ahead of the main migration.
