Striped Bass
Targeting Striped Bass near West Point, PA, requires understanding the Delaware River's tidal influence and the migratory patterns of these fish. The Delaware Estuary provides crucial spawning and feeding grounds. Spring and fall are prime times, coinciding with the herring and shad runs which Stripers heavily feed on. Look for them staging near structure like bridge pilings, channel edges, and points where smaller creeks enter the river. A key local tip is to monitor water temperature; Stripers become more active when the water hits the 50s. Use fish finders to locate schools of baitfish and adjust your presentation accordingly. Popular access points include the public boat ramp at the Upper Schuylkill River, offering access to key Striper holding areas. Remember to check the PA Fish and Boat Commission regulations for size and creel limits, which can vary seasonally.
