I don't know how useful the bottom text is. Any comments? It is dated, nobody uses silk line to fish anymore. Plus there are other unique facts about striped bass that could be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huddy ( talk • contribs) 22:53, 12 January 2004 (UTC)
Stan - looks like a long time with no reply. I am working on some items for this page which I will add and hopefully put together a community based wiki discussion to update the striped bass Wikipedia page. I hope to soon have a Wiki on Striped-Bass.com to tune the striped bass page by the community and update the Wikipedia site. Yes, the silk line has past it's prime :)...

Hey fellas,
Am cleaning up the page a little if you don't mind, though the added info is great. Personally I divide the year between two great spots for bass fishing: NYC (I saw a guy who caught one nearly a meter long last year off one of the old piers and no, he never gets sick from his catch) and Duxbury Bay in Massachusetts (best kept secret-quieter than Martha's Vineyard.) Can't wait to get a new pole come spring! User:shadowcat60 — Preceding undated comment added 08:55, 21 January 2006
Striped bass is a delicious fish that deserves a good article. I'll work on it when my schoolwork calms down Onsmelly 05:24, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I am on vacation and will be arriving at Cape Cod later today. I have done precious little saltwater fishing so far, but I am really looking forward to trying my hand at Stripers this week. I say that to explain that I found and reviewed the Striped Bass page with little previous knowledge. So I offer some comments from a 'novice perspective'.
There was a phrase used on the page which I have never seen before. It spoke of "full neap tide". I know what a tide is, but I have no idea what a 'neap tide' is. I did not see any other reference to tides in the article and I did not see any links that would take me to an explaination of tides or how they affect a fisherman. If time allows, I may try to look the topic up on Wikipedia. But I expect those of you who know this topic and can provide the best suggestion for which of what may be several tide links should be reviewed.
One other suggestion would be to possibly add information or a link for those interested in fly fishing for stripers. I talked to a friend back home in Chicagoland and he has loaned me a fly rod/reel that are more appropriate for salt water than my own gear. He had a few suggestions, but I am searching the internet this morning for some more.
Depending on how I do this week, I may be able to offer a basic outline for a section on fly fishing for stripers. Thanks for the information that is presented.

Fisherpersons,
Does anyone know anything about "farm Raised Rockfish". Someone told me this is happening and I am wondering where ans how this affects the quality of the fish.

Please note that Wikipedia is not a collection of links (see WP:EL). I've replaced the random assortment of links in this article with the standard link to the the DMOZ open directory project. You are free to submit as many links to that place as you want, and in due course they'll be added to the directory. This keeps things clean and fair, and everyone's site can be checked and listed impartially. If you want to add references to the article, go ahead and do them as inline references.

I intend to trim the stuff about angling way back. It's totally out of proportion for an article about the biology of a fish. Take a look at Atlantic salmon or Common carp and you'll see a much more realistic balance between general biology and angling. If people prefer, we could always divest the angling stuff to its own article (say, Striped bass fishing). But as it stands now, there's a huge amount of unreferenced, chatty stuff about angling. Naming brands of lures and suggesting warm footwear really isn't relevant to the article at all. Much more valuable would be referenced quotes on the value (in dollars) of the striped bass fishery, the environmental impact of introducing striped bass on native fish faunas, use of striped bass by native peoples (if any), and so on.

As per the discussion above, I've moved the angling section to striped bass fishing, which should satisfy the scientists, who don't want fathoms of angling here, and the anglers, who like to write long articles and how to catch a certain species. Quite possibly both articles will need a slight polish to accommodate this division, as User:LaughingVulcan suggests. Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 19:47, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Typical sizes/weights of these fish would be interesting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.115.183 ( talk) 03:01, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
The portion of the section that contain anecdotal information was removed. I think it's best for the article. Hope it's ok. Mungmungi ( talk) 19:51, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
This page should list the conservation status of this species, similar to how it is done on the Smallmouth bass and largemouth bass pages. CaseyE3100 ( talk) 02:32, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Is the 'places introduced' section necessary? it's just a list of lakes people happen to know of in their region, and don't say anything about the species striped bass at all. A single sentence saying they have been introduced for recreational fishing would say as much without being open to addition by everyone who knows of another lake where they've been introduced. MarkBul ( talk) 21:53, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
Looking at a rightful reversion made yesterday, I just noticed that while the lede mentions places where Stripers are a state fish (OK I suppose though US-centric, though not sure that's lead material...) a separate sentence also referenced three locations in Canada where stripers can be found. I can't figure that one out, at all, as to why it would be info that should be in the lede at all, so I'm being bold and pulling it. I'm not locating it in the article, either, as there is no indication they are native to those areas and we haven't been listing places they can be found otherwise. If whomever put that in wants to discuss it here I'm willing. LaughingVulcan 12:20, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
I don't know how an Article can be written about Stripers/Rockfish, without mentioning the Roanoke River, one of the biggest, and most important Striper Fisheries in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.28.195.227 ( talk) 22:15, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
Absolutely agree about the Roanoke, which is probably the biggest run of them all for Rockfish. Weldon, NC is considered the "Rockfish Capital of the World".
And the article should also mention Kerr, Gaston, and Roanoke Rapids Lakes in the Roanoke Chain; all are excellent for lake stocked Rockfish. They do spawn some in Kerr, also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.28.195.227 ( talk) 17:49, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
