Striped Bass
While Dunkirk, New York, might not be the first place that comes to mind for striped bass, the waters of Lake Erie can provide surprising opportunities. The striped bass population here is stocked and maintained, offering a unique freshwater striper experience. Focus your efforts in the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler and stripers are more active. Look for them near the mouths of tributaries and around rocky points. Unlike saltwater striper fishing, freshwater tactics like trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be highly effective. A key local tip is to monitor water clarity, as stripers prefer clearer water. The Dunkirk harbor and nearby creeks offer good access points. Keep in mind that Lake Erie can be unpredictable, so always check the marine forecast before heading out.
