Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Striped bass are the backbone of Cape Cod fishing, arriving in spring and providing action through November. These fish feed aggressively on local baitfish including sand eels, herring, and squid. The Cape's varied structure—from shallow flats to deeper channels—holds fish throughout the season. Peak action often occurs during moving tides when stripers push baitfish against shorelines and structure. Whether using live bait or artificials, the key is matching the hatch and fishing where the bass are feeding.
