Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Striped bass, locally known as rockfish, are the Chesapeake Bay's signature gamefish and a cornerstone of Maryland's fishing heritage. These powerful predators follow seasonal migration patterns, moving between deeper winter haunts and shallow spring spawning areas. The 31-inch fish recently caught represents a mature specimen, likely 8-10 years old and weighing around 12-15 pounds.
