The striped bass originally were native only to the Atlantic Coast.
Stripers, or “Rock” as they are referred to locally, are a tremendous gamefish and sought after by an addicted group of surf fishermen from Maine to the Gulf Coast.
Anadromous fish, meaning that they spend most of their life in the sea, stripers return to the coastal rivers each spring to spawn.
An adventurous group of wildlife biologists nearly 40 years ago believed the striper might do well on the Pacific Coast. At a cost of more than 50 cents per fingerling for airfare, 60,000 little stripers were flown to the Pacific Coast for release. Today their descendents cover the Pacific Coast from British Columbia to Mexico. Adaptable they are.
