Local Species Insights: Striped Bass

Striped bass are the premier gamefish of New Hampshire's seacoast, offering exciting fights on light tackle and excellent table fare. These powerful fish migrate through Portsmouth waters during summer months, feeding heavily on mackerel, herring, and other baitfish in Little Bay and surrounding areas. The key to success lies in understanding their feeding patterns and using fresh, lively bait presented at the right depth and location.
