Here's the lowdown: we're heading out when the tides are just right for Striped Bass. That usually means a late afternoon launch, fishing through sunset, and into the prime night hours. We'll be on a comfy, well-equipped boat, with all the gear you need to land a trophy. It's just you, your fishing partner, and me - your guide who knows these waters like the back of my hand. We'll hit all the local hotspots, from the mouth of the Umpqua River to the hidden coves where the big ones lurk. And don't worry about bringing snacks or drinks - you're welcome to pack a cooler with whatever keeps you going through the night.
Alright, let's talk tactics. For Striped Bass, we're usually working with a mix of live bait and artificial lures. We might start off trolling with swimbaits or diving plugs, mimicking the bass's favorite prey. As the sun sets, we'll switch it up, maybe drifting with live eels or chunking with fresh bait. Night fishing is where it gets really exciting - we'll use glow sticks and light-up lures to attract the big boys. I'll show you how to work the rods, set the drag just right, and play these hard-fighting fish. It's all about reading the water, feeling the bite, and reacting fast. Trust me, when a 30-pounder hits your line in the dark, you'll be hooked for life.
Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like Striped Bass fishing in Reedsport. The rush of adrenaline when your rod bends double, the splash of a big striper breaking the surface - it's addictive.

Plus, you can't beat the atmosphere out here. As the sun sets over the Oregon coast, painting the sky in crazy colors, and the stars come out - it's just you and the fish. No cell phones, no distractions, just pure fishing.
Striped Bass, or "stripers" as we call 'em, are the undisputed champions of these waters. These fish are like underwater freight trains - all muscle and attitude. In Reedsport, we see 'em anywhere from 5 to 40 pounds, with the occasional monster pushing 50. They're migratory, following bait fish up and down the coast, which means timing is everything. Spring and fall are usually the prime seasons, but we can catch 'em year-round if you know where to look. What makes stripers so special? For one, they're smart. These fish will test your skills, make you work for every catch. And when you do land one, it's a trophy - beautiful silver sides with distinct black stripes. Plus, if you're into catch-and-cook, striped bass make for some mighty fine eating.

Striped bass are a real treat to target here in Reedsport. These powerful fish typically run 20-40 pounds, with some real monsters pushing 70 pounds. You'll find them cruising near structure and drop-offs, especially in moving water. They're not the fastest swimmers, but boy can they fight when hooked. Stripers love cooler water, so we focus on dawn and dusk when they're up feeding near the surface. Spring and fall are prime seasons as they migrate through. Folks love going after stripers for their hard-fighting nature and excellent eating. The meat is sweet and flaky - perfect for the grill. Here's a local tip: Use live bait like herring or squid to really get their attention. Let it drift naturally with the current near structure. When you feel that telltale thump, get ready for an epic battle. Just be sure to match your gear to these bruisers - a sturdy 8-14 foot rod and 20 pound test line will serve you well.
