Top Ten Striped Bass Spots
April 8th, 2008Well, here it is… as requested… the Top Ten Striped Bass Spots in our area! In no particular order, these are the most popular areas to fish for Stripers, no matter if you’re plugging, chunking, clam chumming or using eels.
1- The West Bar, in the inlet.
2- The East Bar, in the inlet.
3- The Big Meadowbrook bridge (aka, the third Meadowbrook)
4- The Swift Creek Bridges (this is the second Meadowbrook and / or the first Loop Parkway bridge).
5- Haunts Creek… the southern end towards the State Channel.
6- The third Wantagh (the southern most bridge)
7- The eastern entrance to Zachs Bay. On the south side of the State channel, there is a decent sized hole right at the entrance to Zachs.
8- Black Banks.
9- Reynold Channel, just east of the golf course.
10- Bulkhead Drain.
All of these spots produce fish, using just about ANY method. Some can vary depending on tides and wind but all in all, these are with no doubt, some of the most consistent areas in our bay!
Go get em!
Great list. thanks
Glad to help!
I have another question totally off the striper track. Where are some good areas for clamming in the Hempstead township?
Hey, thanks for the helpful advice..

ok now out of these top ten spots which one in particular has been like an almost every time catch–im just curious because ive landed stripers off boats and all but just cant quite get em the hard way and the challenge is just great but the outcome is horrible.
All of the above spots are boat fishing spots. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have about other places on the island to fish!
