Went out and used the hook-and-line to add a new one to the species list. Bait of choice: hot dogs.

Striped bass can adapt to fresh or salt, although they grow bigger in salt. There's a big landlocked population in South Carolina that's a major fishing attraction. And as hybrids (with white bass) they've been introduced widely, which is dopey but no one asked me....

We get strippers very far inland here. I generally recommend catch and release since they are expensive to keep.
They also stock whites, stripers, and wipers all over Tx. Personally, I like the yellow bass the best of them all. Nice pics.

I raise the sunshine bass (white mother x striped father) (palmetto bass is striped mother x white father) for use as food in cages and ponds. Hybrid is tougher by most measures than striper and grows much faster than white. The hybrid stiped basses are the only taxa I have ever seen that could tolerate direct transfer from freshwater to full strength seawater. Yes, they are expensive to keep and doubt their production is going to be sustainable owing to the large amounts of fishmeal used in their diets and the energy required to provide water and oxygen / aeration.

B.I.T.D. we built some humongous fish pens for an outfit that raised redfish, stripers and were experimenting with something else I was not privy too.
They were experimenting with a powerful lighting system to try and fool the fish into trying to mate more often. But the most unique thing they had was a super powerful air compressor cannon to blast the feed.
When that cannon turned on, every imaginable fish in that saltwater marsh came to the outside of that pen to eat the drifting pellets ( The harvest cages were all square mesh 25mm x 25mm No.36 twine Knotless PE ( K-Less).
I was told by several fisheries guys I was immagining this as wild fish won't eat pellets. I wish they would had let me take pictures.....whcih they didn't.
The whole thing went into shock when they discovered that their 100x30x 8 feet deep pens were going to sit in 4' of water all winter when the tide was low. Oysters grew inside the pen and "cemented" the cages to the sea bed. It was a heck of a reef they built...too bad they couldn't move the pens anymore.
Just reminiscing.

Cool pics. They look just like the first year stripers that come from the Hudson and are the first spring arrivals here. I couldn't tell 'em apart.
For awhile the Federal Fish and Wildlife was raising striped bass to stock in the ocean to boost the recovery. Not sure how much it helped but I did once catch a 28 inch tagged fish in Maine that was hatched at the federal hatchery and stocked into the Choptank river in Md at 10 inches. It was five years old. I released it.
I'm not finding as many good striper pics as I thought I would. I got tons of pics of people holding 'em, not many like you want.

Well, let me know if you come across something. I've got one right now that I'm going to use, but I could still use another.

Off topic, but I've been working in ditches in northwestern Ohio doing fish surveys to prepare data for my Master's thesis. I've been doing some photo work along the way. Here's a Fantail Darter from one of the ditches...

Here's a striper I caught - 35" out of Long Island Sound. And they get plenty bigger.
Not suitable for your average set up, I think.

Jan ... I'm new here.
Do you think it would be OK to try and raise that 35" Striped Bass in a 50 gal tank? Would it outgrow the aquarium eventually? Should I put an Aquaclear 50 on it and change the filters once a month? How about food ... will it take flakes?
.....only kidding of course.

Lately some fish in my aquarium have been disappearing and I was wondering whether any of you might know which fish it is. I have shiners, darters, a few small bluegill and a THREE FOOT STRIPED BASS!!! Any ideas? And don't worry, like seemingly everyone, I have a friend who will take him once he outgrows my tank.
Great fish!
