Striped bass are the stars of this show, and for good reason. These powerful fish can grow to impressive sizes, with some lake monsters tipping the scales at 30 pounds or more. Stripers are known for their explosive strikes and hard-fighting nature - when one of these bad boys hits your line, you'll know it! They often travel in schools, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. Stripers tend to be most active in the cooler parts of the day, which makes our afternoon trip perfect for targeting them as they start feeding before sunset. The thrill of battling a big striper as it tries to dive deep or make a run is something every angler should experience.
Striped bass behavior changes with the seasons, which keeps things interesting year-round. In the spring and fall, they often chase bait fish near the surface, creating exciting topwater opportunities. During the hotter summer months, they might go deeper, and we'll adjust our tactics accordingly. One of the coolest things about stripers is their ability to adapt to freshwater environments, making them a prized catch in many lakes across the country.
Listen, if you're itching to tangle with some hard-fighting stripers, our Afternoon Trip is calling your name. With Hundley's Guide Service, you're not just getting a fishing trip - you're getting years of local knowledge, top-notch equipment, and a crew that's passionate about putting you on fish.

Striped bass are powerful swimmers that put up an impressive fight. These fish typically weigh 20-40 pounds but can reach up to 70 pounds. You'll find them near structures like reefs, sandbars, and shorelines in both salt and freshwater. They love moving water and cooler temperatures. Spring and fall are prime seasons as stripers migrate along the coast. In summer, target them early morning or evening when they come to the surface to feed. Stripers are prized for their sweet, flaky meat that's excellent for eating. To boost your chances, use live bait like herring, menhaden, or eels. The smell and movement really attract them. I always tell folks to watch for diving birds - that's often a sign stripers are feeding on baitfish below. Cast your line into the frenzy and hold on tight! Whether you're after a trophy fish or a delicious dinner, striped bass offer an exciting challenge for anglers of all levels. Just be ready for a battle when you hook into one of these hard-fighting fish.
