Saltwater Striper

Saltwater Striper or Striped Bass are olive-green, blue, or black dorsally and have seven or eight dark, continuous stripes along the side of the body. They tend to grow more slowly than those that live in freshwater, but they live much longer. They can reach lengths as long as 60 inches. They will inhabit coastal waters and are commonly found in bays. Stripers are mainly found north to nearshore waters of the New England coast during the summer and move south to North Carolina and Virginia capes during the winter. Their diet consists of other fish, crustaceans, squids, mussels, and worms.
