All About Striped Bass, History of Striped Bass, Migration Patterns of Striped Bass, Spawning of Striped Bass, Feeding Habits of Striped BassAll About Striped Bass
The Striped Bass, scientifically referred to as Morone saxatilis, known in the Chesapeake Bay region as Striper, Rockfish, Linesider, Roller, Squidhound and in the northern Atlantic states simply as “Bass,” is one of the most avidly pursued of all coastal sport fish. Striped Bass are native to most of the East Coast, ranging from the lower St. Lawrence River in Canada to the St. John's River in Northern Florida, and from Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana on the Gulf of Mexico to the open waters of the Atlantic. The primary range where most recreational and commercial anglers along the east coast pursue striped bass spans from Maine to North Carolina. However, Striped Bass are also found in many freshwater inland lakes along the east coast. The west coast of the United States also has a healthy striped bass fishery, mainly in the Delta area of northern California. While the east and west coast striped bass fisheries draw the most attention, striped bass can be found in thirty-one (31) states, facilitated by stocking programs in lakes and reservoirs.

Fishing Destination and Trip Information
We fish. It really is who we are...tm.Our fishing journal provides articles on different fishing destination topics, species and chronicles our fishing adventures with our real journal notes, pictures, video, from our personal fishing journals. We provide information on how to get there, what you can catch, what you should bring, where you can launch your boat, recommendations on fishing guides and lodges, and where to eat (if there is a place around to eat). We'll give you it to your straight from our logs. You'll never see any information here that one of us at Lateral Line have not experienced first hand. In some cases with areas we fish or have fished extensively we will not necessary chronicle each and every trip, but rather give you seasonal information and selected journal entries that should help you catch more fish.

We have a lot of catching up to do to get our fishing logs into our web site, so please bear with us as we get everything in here. Once we get caught up we will list all the trips by date, until then we will put the ones we get done at the top of the list. If you need help, want some advice or just have some questions about anyone in our journal please feel free to drop us a line, we're always happy to help. We fish. It's who we are....tm

If you are interested in reading daily reports and information from the Chesapeake Bay and East Coast waters you can check out our online fishing community site called TidalFish.com that has over 44,900 anglers talking fishing on the message boards.
