By Mallory Hinton

There are strict size and quantity restrictions for taking striped bass, and licenses are required. Depending on the season, the fishing can be so plentiful that the daily limit may be reached in about an hour's time.

A experienced angler can show you how to hook a huge bass within several feet of the shore. The technique is called bouncing the rig onto the shore. If you cast a rig too close to a fish near the shore, they may get nervous and swim away. The trick is to introduce the rig into the water by little bounces from the sandy shore. The fish may be intrigued by your bouncing lure, and take it.

If there are windy conditions, you can use them to drive the bass to you. They will follow the bait fish as they struggle against the currents produced by the wind. If your lure is waiting there, you may get a hit.

Guides have a lot of knowledge and skills to share with you but they have something else to offer. They have well-equipped fishing boats, with powerful engines and the latest fish-finding equipment. There's nothing like experiencing a fishing frenzy out in the deep water. You will have trouble keeping up with the fish as they grab lure after lure.

This area has many vacation cottages for rent and other luxury accommodations. You may want to stay a few days and take a fishing trip with one of the guides. Striped bass are a superb game fish and this is one of the places to find them.
