All about fishing for striped bass and hybrid stripers.

By AA-Fishing Staff Writers

While stripers are native to salt water, they naturally migrate into fresh water streams to spawn. Their eggs must remain in motion in order to hatch - so the fresh water rivers and streams which drain into the ocean become the ideal spawning grounds for stripers. Fish for stripers with medium to heavy rods, reels and line. Review a list of the best striper lures and baits before heading to the lake.
