The striped bass, also known as the "Squid Hound", striper, and rockfish, is a voracious feeder with a wide ranging diet. The striper likes a large variety of small fish and invertebrates. His coloration can vary from an olive green, dark blue, or black on his back fading to silver bands and white on his belly. His name comes from the 7-8 prominent dark stripes running horizontally along his flanks. The striped bass is found in almost all coastal areas of North America as well as fresh water lakes in over 30 states. Ins some states the striper is highly regulated because of declining numbers and although a high quality table fish, is best released to fight again.
