Striped Bass
Bernhards Bay, nestled on the eastern shore of Oneida Lake, isn't a typical location for Striped Bass. While these fish are anadromous, migrating up rivers to spawn, Oneida Lake is a freshwater system without direct access to saltwater. To pursue Striped Bass in New York, you'll need to focus on coastal regions like the Hudson River or Long Island Sound. Spring and fall are the optimal times to target them, coinciding with their spawning migrations. In these areas, look for structure such as bridges, docks, and channel edges. Effective techniques include fishing with live bait like bunker or eels, or casting artificial lures such as bucktails and swimbaits. Pay close attention to tidal currents, as Striped Bass often feed aggressively during periods of strong flow. Check local regulations for size and bag limits specific to the area you're fishing. Remember that success often hinges on adapting to changing water conditions and locating the baitfish that Striped Bass are feeding on.
