Striped Bass Information

Striped Bass
(Striper, Rockfish, Linesides)

   Striped Bass run in schools most of the time and cover lots of water following whatever prey they happen to favor, which in Arkansas is normally the shad. Landlocked Striped Bass can cruise at 7mph with burst of speed recorded up to 45mph.
    They may be here this morning, 5 miles down the lake by afternoon, and somewhere else entirely by tomorrow. Unlike largemouth bass, stripers gorge themselves full, then won't feed again until their stomachs are empty. Stripers are more light-sensitive than largemouth bass and easier to spook. You can put down an entire feeding school for hours just by motoring over them or dropping something against the hull.
   What stripers lack in predictability, they more than make up in other ways. They don't leap much but will fight you all the way to the boat. Best of all they grow fast and get really big.
