Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Striped bass are the cornerstone of Cape Cod fishing, with East Dennis waters providing excellent habitat for both resident and migratory fish. These powerful gamefish follow baitfish schools through the area's varied bottom structure, from shallow flats to deeper channels. During peak feeding periods, stripers become aggressive predators, readily taking both live bait and artificial lures. The 26-inch fish commonly caught here represent healthy, mature bass that provide excellent sport on appropriate tackle. Captain Mark's knowledge of local tidal movements and seasonal patterns ensures anglers are positioned where bass are most likely to feed.
