August New Moon Fishing Forecast for Striped Bass
As summer draws to a close, the fall run is approaching, bringing with it a mix of exciting and challenging fishing conditions. With water temperatures spiking, exotic species are more likely to appear, but striped bass fishing can be difficult, especially for shore-based fishermen. Shark depredation is also a growing concern, making fishing more complicated. However, bottom fishing and fluke fishing can be great for numbers, and August can be a fantastic month for sea bass as small bait starts to flush out front.
