Let's get down to the star of the show – the striped bass. These bruisers are the pride of the Jersey coast, and for good reason. Stripers can grow to over 50 pounds, with most keepers in the 28 to 38-inch range. They're known for their powerful runs and head-shaking fights that'll test your drag and your biceps. In the spring and fall, these fish go on feeding frenzies as they migrate along the coast, making it prime time to load the boat. But here's the thing – stripers are more than just a great catch. They're smart, they're strong, and they've got these distinctive black stripes that make for some awesome photos. Plus, if you're lucky enough to take one home, you're in for some of the tastiest fillets you'll ever grill up. Just remember, we practice catch and release for the big breeders to keep the population healthy for years to come.

Striped bass are the stars of our local waters. These powerful fish typically run 20-40 pounds but can reach a whopping 70. You'll find them cruising near structures like reefs and sandbars, often within casting distance of shore. Spring and fall are prime seasons as the bass migrate along the coast. Anglers love stripers for their hard-fighting spirit and excellent taste on the table. They're not the speediest fish, but they've got strength to spare when hooked. To boost your odds, try fishing at dawn or dusk when stripers feed near the surface. Live bait like herring or squid is your best bet - these picky eaters prefer the real deal. And here's a local tip: keep an eye out for birds diving on baitfish. That's often a sign stripers are feeding below. Whether you're after a trophy catch or a delicious dinner, striped bass deliver an exciting day on the water. Just be ready for a workout when you hook into one of these Jersey shore favorites.
