 The Striped Bass fishery along the east coast has rebounded over the years. Pollution and commercial fishing once caused a dramatic decrease in the total number of spawning fish entering the fresh water river systems up and down the eastern seaboard. Conservation efforts have allowed this fishery to explode. Our local Delaware River is listed as one of the largest spawning grounds on the east coast. Every spring, cow females must enter fresh water river systems to spawn. Stripers have been known to release eggs as far north as Easton, Pennsylvania. However, much of the spawning process occurs in the tidal sections of Trenton and Philadelphia. Female Stripers will release eggs into the current. As the eggs flow freely downriver, the males finish the process. It is essential for stripers to reproduce in a clean, freshwater environment. Pollution, high water and muddy water can decrease chances for a successful reproduction.  The peak of the Striper run normally occurs during late April and early May. However, good numbers of large fish can be caught earlier as buck shad and herring run the river to spawn. These alternate fish runs provide the Striped Bass with an abundant food source. The Striper's aggressive nature drives them to constantly eat. Plus, they need nutrients, as they will expend energy during the spawning process.................. More... |
