So the thread about Virginia Striped Bass Size Limits doesn't get too off topic, this article from 2013 might address some of the other topics to which that thread may have led. There was quite a bit of information to absorb but with the cold weather upon us, it makes for good reading and knowledge. The migration of striped bass from and to the major spawning areas is very informative.
One thing that struck my attention was regarding the spawning stocks that winter and spawn in the N.C area. The article talks about the fact that those bass seldom, if ever, migrate north of Ocean City, MD. It also mentions that most of the bass that swim past our coastline are from Chesapeake stocks. I have to read it more carefully to find out more about the wintering grounds of the Hudson River stocks and from where they migrate.
