What's Biting at Hyde Park
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current NYSDEC saltwater regulations before keeping any fish.
Striped Bass (Atlantic)
Morone saxatilis
Season: Spring and fall migrations; summer in New England (check regs)
Baits: Live or chunk bunker (menhaden), Clams, Live eels
Stripers feed where moving water pushes bait against structure: inlet mouths, jetty tips, bridge shadows, rips and points. Fish the stronger part of the tide, and dawn, dusk and night, especially in summer. Chunks or clams on the bottom from the beach, eels or swimbaits at night along rocks. Circle hooks on bait; release fish carefully, most of the catch goes back.
