Trip Summary
Trip Summary
As the season turns and spring begins to assert its influence, the Striped Bass migration is in full swing along our local rivers. Anglers are reporting exciting opportunities as these prized fish either stage or make their way upriver.
What makes this season particularly thrilling is the proximity of prime live bait to where the Striped Bass are congregating. Anglers are finding some of the most best bait species close to the staging areas of the Striped Bass. Catching this bait adds an extra layer of excitement to the fishing experience!
One of the key advantages of this setup is the ability to swiftly transport the live bait to the desired fishing spot. With the Striped Bass often found just a mile or so upriver from where the bait is caught, anglers are maximizing their chances of success by ensuring the bait is as fresh and lively as possible.
It's essential for anglers to confirm with their chosen captains that they have the capability to procure and maintain this specialized live bait. Additionally, ensuring compliance with newer Coast Guard regulations, including the presence of Type 1 Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) aboard the vessel, is paramount for a safe and enjoyable fishing experience.
As the Striped Bass season continues to unfold, anglers are encouraged to seize the opportunity to combine the thrill of catching lively bait with the exhilarating challenge of reeling in some of the strongest fighting fish in our waterways. Tight lines and happy fishing to all!
Tight lines and happy fishing!
