Small fish Survey
I'm trying to see in what areas people have found very small, premigratory, striped bass. Biologist say that stripers usually start to migrate at about age 3. Three year old fish are typically fifteen inches long give or take an inch. Fish less than that are often (not always) spawned near where you would find them. Let's get a feel of the smallest stripers we've all caught and where so we can get an informal idea of what areas other than the traditional big three that these little critters may be being born in.
Smallest fish - 6 inches caught in the Housatonic river in Stratfor, CT
I've also caught several fish around 8 inches in those same waters
Many fish under ten inches caught in the Neponset River in Dorchester
A few fish under ten inches caught at Shell Point, Onset, Ma
Some fish under ten inches caught at the West Wall, Matunucjk, RI
One other place for tiny stripers but I don't remember where the heck that was ???
