Striped Bass
Southampton's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and Peconic Bay makes it a prime location for targeting Striped Bass. The diverse coastline, including sandy beaches, rocky points, and tidal estuaries, provides varied habitats for stripers throughout the season. Spring and fall migrations are peak times, with fish moving in and out of the area. Montauk Point, just a short drive away, is a legendary striper location, known for its strong currents and abundant baitfish. Consider fishing the Shinnecock Inlet or Mecox Bay for more protected waters. Live eels are a local favorite bait, especially when fished at night around bridge pilings or rocky structure. Be aware of the strong tides and currents in the area, which can affect your presentation and boat control. Access is available through numerous public boat ramps and fishing piers, but parking can be limited during peak season.
