[USM Bass Tracker]

I am conducting research at USM- GCRL on striped bass (SB) habitat use within MS coastal rivers. I am in the preliminary part of the research, mainly looking for sites that can produce enough specimens to track and study.

I am originally from the northeast and have fished for SB there, however the Gulf SB are a bit different. I was wondering if you guys could tell me some bait and methods, possibly locations where you consistently catch striped bass.

Thanks in advance.
