Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Striped bass are the premier gamefish in Hingham's waters, known for their powerful fights and excellent table fare. September is an ideal time as these fish feed aggressively before their fall migration south. Captain Horte targets these fish along structure, depth changes, and current edges throughout Hingham Bay and Boston Harbor. The cooler September waters typically bring larger bass into the area as they chase baitfish schools.
Various techniques prove effective for Stripers in these waters—jigging with soft plastics around structure, trolling with tube and worm rigs along depth changes, or casting topwater plugs during low light periods. Captain Horte adapts tactics based on conditions and fish behavior, ensuring you're always using the most effective approach. The average catch ranges from schoolie-sized bass to trophy specimens, with fish in the 24-36 inch range common during September trips.

Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and bring sun protection, including sunscreen, hat, and polarized sunglasses. A camera is recommended to document your catches before release or harvest. Captain Horte encourages conservation, promoting catch-and-release practices for most fish while allowing for selective harvest within regulations. Light refreshments are recommended, though you'll want to focus on the fishing rather than elaborate meals during this action-packed trip.
