Bass behavior is still an exceptionally bewildering issue for me personally, and for nearly all serious anglers. Just when you feel you have the bass understood, striped bass do something different, and leave us totally confused.
I'm sure many separate factors cause changes in bass behavior. Investigating all these variables is well past the breadth of this article, and is likely best off left to marine biologists. The important thing for us striper junkies is to be able to realize when a alternation in striped bass behavior has taken place, and the ways to ideally change our methods so we can go on finding and hooking big stripers.
Frequently a sunrise or sunset results in a change in striper behavior. From what I've seen, stripers will in most cases relocate deeper or shallower as soon as the sky begins to darken or begins to get bright. Stripers will frequently change from relaxing to an active state after a sunrise or sunset. What this means for anglers is that whatever stripers you've located (or not located) may considerably switch their habits following one of these 2 celestial occurrences. If you wish to continue reeling in (or commence hooking) striped bass, then adapt your search method and fishing approach accordingly.
Stripers will regularly cross over from schooling to shoaling, and straight back to schooling yet again throughout the course of a day or night. For those who find an enormous, football field size school of bass, and abruptly lose track of the fish, an alteration in behavior may have taken place. Individual bass from the massive school could now be shoaling in the region. Once the sun sets or rises once more, there exists a good chance that the stripers will congregate back into schooling configuration.
Tides also play a part in pinpointing bass behavior, nonetheless for me personally, it's a bit more difficult to explain exactly how. The essential thing to keep in mind is that a tidal change can spark the bite, or turn it off. Tide changes may also cause striped bass to swim out of a once productive location, and into what was once desolate zone.
How all these variables affect striper behaviour will most likely remain a mystery for years to come. In spite of the many question marks, acquiring a knowledge that specific occurrences will cause a change in striped bass behavior, will definitely help you locate, and catch more fish.
