Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Lake Murray's striped bass population thrives in the lake's well-oxygenated waters and abundant forage base. These fish follow seasonal patterns, moving to deeper creek channels during winter and relating to points and humps during spring and fall transitions. Summer finds them chasing shad schools in open water, often feeding aggressively at dawn and dusk. The lake's thermocline structure during hot months concentrates stripers at specific depths where oxygen and temperature levels are optimal.
