Your day starts early when you meet the crew at the dock, ready to chase some of the most coveted gamefish in these waters. Blue Bandit runs half-day and full-day options, so you can fit this adventure into your schedule without missing a beat. The boat's rigged with quality gear from reels to rods, plus all the terminal tackle you'll need. Captain reads the water like a book – checking current breaks, bait schools, and structure where stripers love to ambush their next meal. You'll cover productive ground efficiently, hitting multiple spots until you find where the fish are feeding. The intimate 4-person capacity means everyone gets prime fishing real estate along the rails, and the crew can work with each angler individually on technique and timing.
Striped bass fishing is all about adapting to conditions, and that's where Blue Bandit's experience really shines. Depending on what the fish are doing, you might be chunking with fresh bait, working live eels around structure, or casting topwater plugs when the bass are busting baitfish on the surface. The crew sets you up with medium-heavy spinning or conventional gear matched to the day's game plan. Circle hooks are the standard for live and chunk baiting – they hook fish in the corner of the mouth for better survival rates and easier releases. When conditions are right for artificials, you'll throw everything from soft plastics to hard baits, working them through the strike zone where stripers are feeding. The key is reading the sonar, watching for bird activity, and staying flexible as conditions change throughout the day.
Striped bass are the crown jewel of inshore fishing, and for good reason. These silver-sided fighters can range from schoolie bass around 18-20 inches all the way up to trophy cows pushing 40+ pounds and 40+ inches. What makes stripers so special is their aggressive feeding behavior and the way they'll absolutely hammer a bait or lure when conditions line up right. They're most active during moving water – incoming and outgoing tides – when baitfish get pushed around and stripers can ambush them easily. Spring and fall typically offer the best action as fish migrate along the coast, but summer fishing can be world-class when you know where to look. The real rush comes from their initial run when hooked – a big striper will peel line off your reel and test your drag system like few other fish can. Plus, they're excellent table fare when kept within regulations, though many anglers practice catch-and-release to preserve these amazing fisheries for future generations.
