Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass in the freshwater reaches near Mount Vernon, Alabama, can be a rewarding experience. The Mobile River system, specifically the lower stretches around Mount Vernon, supports a landlocked population of striped bass. These fish migrate upriver, especially during the spring spawning run. Look for them around areas with current, such as the confluence of the Tombigbee and Alabama Rivers to form the Mobile River. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits near structure are popular techniques. Live bait fishing with shad can also be very effective. Spring and fall offer the best opportunities, with the spring spawning run being a particularly exciting time to target larger fish. Be aware of local regulations regarding size and creel limits for striped bass, as they can change frequently. Access to the river is available at several public boat ramps in and around Mount Vernon. Strong currents can be present, so exercise caution when navigating.
