Striped bass occur naturally along the Atlantic coast from the
St. Lawrence River in Canada to the St. John's River in Florida,
and in some river systems along the Gulf of Mexico from western
Florida to Lake Pontchartrin, Louisiana. It is a coastal fish,
inhabiting nearshore ocean waters as well as adjacent bays, sounds
and tidal rivers. Some naturally reproducing stocks have been
established in freshwater rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

Striped bass feed on a variety of fish and invertebrates. They can be selective feeders, meaning that they will choose one type of food over another, ignoring other possible food sources that may be available. It seems also that when prey is plentiful, bass are likely to gorge themselves, then cease feeding in order to digest, then gorge again. In general, they are more active at night, feeding on other nocturnal creatures. |
