Striped Bass
Looking to tangle with some freshwater stripers in Kansas? While Gem might be a small town, nearby Kirwin Reservoir offers a fantastic opportunity to target these hard-fighting fish. Kirwin is known for its healthy striped bass population, thanks to consistent stocking programs. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Look for stripers schooling near submerged structure or chasing baitfish on the surface, especially during early morning and late evening hours. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits are effective methods. A local tip: Pay attention to the wind direction, as stripers often congregate on the windward side of the reservoir. Be sure to check the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks regulations for creel and size limits before heading out. The striped bass in Kirwin tend to be aggressive, offering a thrilling fight for anglers of all skill levels.
