Chesapeake 2026 Striped Bass Young of Year Results

[Roccus7]

MD, the key driver for NE striped bass, still down the crapper, VA close to the long term average, but up from last year. NY data should be released soon

Still analyzing the data. Gut reaction is fish are holding their own, but we're going to be continuing our "Overs" releasing without many "Unders" over the next 4 or so year.

Certainly a fair number of 40-50lb class fish around. I guess 15-18yr olds.

Many personal bests were caught in the last 2 weeks.............as for juveniles, the data speaks for itself. Few and far between.
