Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Striped bass, also known as rockfish in the Chesapeake region, are the premier gamefish in these waters. These fish use the Chesapeake Bay as both a spawning ground and seasonal feeding area. Spring and fall typically offer the best fishing, with many trophy-sized fish moving through during these migration periods. Light tackle techniques including jigging, live-lining spot, and casting topwater lures are all productive methods depending on conditions. The 31-inch specimen caught on this trip represents a quality Chesapeake Bay striper, though the bay is capable of producing fish over 40 inches during peak seasons. Conservation efforts in recent decades have helped maintain this valuable fishery for future generations.
