Stripers and spawning in New York

I was reading that striped bass migrate to streams and rivers to spawn in the spring. Does this happen on Long Island? Do striped bass spawn around here? Does it just take place in back bays and canals? If anyone can give me some insight to striper spawning around here that would be great.

The "spring run" of stripers we catch in the raritan bay /raritan river are mostly Hudson river bass.When the Hudson river gets warm enough for spawning alot of those male and female bass move north to do thier thing.

I would like to think that a percentage of the Hudson tribe branches out to some of the smaller river systems and makes an attempt to spawn and possibly get a foothold in that particular river system much like shad do.

Tagging studies have so far proven otherwise ,but with dam removal and river improvements we may see bass spawning in rivers that didnt support spawning before.I certainly hope so.

Very curioous to see how the new TZ Bridge construction will impact the spawn. I suppose as long as they aren't spooked by the machinery (and "bubble curtains" supposedly in place to mask the noise) and get up river, hopefully everything will work out.

I hope everything works out as well.I heard that the Hudson riverkeeper is keeping a close eye on the construction and has the striped bass,sturgeon and herring run a prioirity.Those Hudson bass give us alot of our action in Jersey and I am hoping the stocks improve.

Our Hudson river and the Chesapeake are the 2 largest striper spawning areas on the east coast. The bass sometimes ball up in the NY bight before heading north in the Hudson to spawn. Water around 45 degrees and moving bait starts the fish moving north. I hooked up nice last mid march just N of the Tappan Zee on the kayak. First year fish may hang in the Hudson, or in their spawning river, or in nearby LI sound for several seasons before entering the marine district. Eventually they return to their origins and the process repeats.

Tis better to remain silent and thought the fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

I think they do....Caught in Babylon....If this little guy made the trip from the Hudson...Good for him !...;)1703344

 

From that photo, that is a freshwater out flow. Have seen very large carp ( 10 lbs or better ) jumping the falls back into the lake there. So question is if carp can do it why not bass to breed? That lake is fed from streams further North.
