Chasing The Migration

The places I have fished all summer long are completely devoid of striped bass right now.

The bass schools were in their usual spots as recent as Thursday morning, but by Thursday night they were gone.

I was expecting this to happen, because I believe these schools of striped bass have begun their migration south. To find the fish this weekend I've also been forced to travel south in order to keep up with the schools.

For example, we found the fish in the below video in an area I have not fished since spring. I firmly believe these are the same fish that were located 8 miles to the north, early in the day on Thursday.

I highly doubt these fish will turn around and start heading north again! Final tally for this trip was around 8 bass up to 27 or so pounds, and several small bluefish.
