Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Striped bass thrive in Cape Cod's diverse marine environment, moving between deeper channels and shallow flats based on tide, temperature, and bait availability. These fish are opportunistic feeders that respond well to both live bait presentations and artificial lures when fished at the right depth and structure. During peak season, striped bass concentrate around points, drop-offs, and areas where current creates feeding opportunities.
