Striped bass eat a variety of foods, including fish such as alewives, flounder, sea herring, menhaden, sand lance, silver hake, tomcod, smelt, silversides and eels, as well as lobsters, crabs, soft clams, small mussels, sea worms and squid.
The largest bass in Texas was caught on the Brazos river and it was 53 pounds.
Stripped bass inhabit coastal waters up to 10 kilometers from shore and are often found in bays. In spring, they migrate to freshwater rivers and lakes to spawn. There are also landlocked populations, that populations of striped bass that live, grow and reproduce in freshwater and never migrates to the sea.
Striped bass can live in both saltwater and freshwater, and the range of this fish is therefore limited chiefly by other factors than salinity. Such limiting factors can for instance be temperature, oxygen content and access to food. In some habitats, the conditions are only suitable during part of the year and the striped bass is therefore forced to move on a regular basis.
Habitat: Striped bass larvae and post larvae drift downstream toward nursery areas located in river deltas and the inland portions of the coastal sounds and estuaries. Juveniles typically remain in estuaries for two to four years …show more content…
But if you use braid, make sure you use a 3 or 4 foot mono or flourocarbon leader of at least 40 pound test. When you get a fish near the boat and you have to grab something, grab the leader, not the line. Braided line has small diameter and can easily cut fingers, and the bait doesn’t matter as long as its any of these alewives, flounder, sea herring, menhaden, sand lance, silver hake, tomcod, smelt, silversides and eels, as well as lobsters, crabs, soft clams, small mussels, sea worms and
