The Arkansas Game and Fish commission operates a state-of-the-art
 Striped Bass hatchery system with the best biologist in the nation.

The federal fisheries division maintains the only captive spawning population of Gulf Coast
striped bass in the world
at  Mammoth Springs, Arkansas.

Armed with the proper lures, tackle, and know-how, trophy
 Striped Striped Bass can be a dream come true for Arkansas anglers. 
Catching big trophy striped bass, however, can be hard work.

When using artificial lures, dedication and hundreds of casts may be required
 but one monster Arkansas Striped Bass is worth all the effort!

Striped Bass run in schools most of the time and cover lots of water following schools of shad .
 Striped Bass can cruise at 7mph with burst of speed recorded up to 45mph.


Striped Bass are often typecast as indiscriminate eaters.
Many anglers even hold them responsible for declining populations
 of bass and crappie in some reservoirs
.
 This is simply not true ---- biologists know such is not the case.
Striped Bass feed mainly on forage fish including threadfin and gizzard shad.
They will also eat trout, bluegill, minnows, crawfish, eels, drum and an occasional carp.
 

Striped Bass may be one place in the morning 2 miles down the lake by afternoon, and somewhere else entirely by tomorrow.
 Unlike largemouths, Striped Bass gorge themselves full, then won't feed again until their stomachs are empty.
 Also, Striped Bass are more light-sensitive and easier to spook than largemouth.
 You can put down an entire feeding school of Striped Bass for hours just by
 motoring over them or dropping something against the hull.

What Striped Bass lack in predictability, they more than make up in other ways.
 NO freshwater fish attacks a surface lure as viciously as the Striped Bass.
When first hooked they will put on a water thrashing show you will never forget and will fight you all the way to the boat.

Regardless of the way it happens, when one of these line-sided monsters engulfs a lure, one has to experience heart flutter from the rush of adrenaline and experience a ...Memory of a Life Time..

The Spirit of Striped Bass has impressed me.

Please Practice Catch and Release

"There are many things in life that will catch your eye,  but only a few will catch your heart.....pursue those."
 

May our future generations enjoy the striped bass adventure.
