Where to catch stripers.

The striped bass might be the most misunderstood fish in the U.S. It likely is the most underutilized, too. The reasons are clear. Striped bass and hybrid striped bass don't occupy the same habitat as most other game species. As a result, most anglers haven't taken the time to learn to fish for these hard fighters, and they are pursued by a relatively small following of anglers.

In freshwater impoundments Stripers occupy the middle parts of lakes and feed on shad - especially the larger shad that are too large for other predators to feed on. These are fast-growing fish, so even small ones can weigh 3 to 4 pounds, and really big ones can top 50 pounds. The marine Striped Bass can grow to beter than 80 pounds.

You'll find on these pages techniques and tips on how to catch more and bigger fish.
