Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) - Migrate from sea up inland estiaries and sounds for spawning. In its southern range (GA), they live in coastal rivers or in near estuaries, seek upstream collator refuges during summer. Usually inhabit open water, usually in schools. They spawn during spring in flowing 55- 67 degree water. The semi-buoyant eggs require many miles of flowing water for egg development and maturation. Seven or eight heavy and distinct black stripes run the length of the entire slender body. The second anal spine is half of less the length of the third anal spine. There are two tooth patches on the tongue. Most bass are 5 - 25 pounds, but they can get up to 80 pounds. A tip is to use large green or white jigs or minnows and shad. In the fall look for schools feeding near the surface. Watch for seagulls diving on bait fish. Fish with live shrimp or mullet in coastal river estuaries. They can be found in AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, and TX.
