Fall Striper season 2024 has finally arrived. The fall run of striped bass in New Jersey is a yearly migration of large schools of fish that begins in late September or early October and continues through the winter. The fall run usually starts when the water temperature drops to 58–48°F.
These fish start in Southern Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Eastern Connecticut, then move to Long Island, and finally reach New Jersey's northernmost parts in late October. They then pass through Southern New Jersey and Eastern Delaware in late November and December, and end up in their winter homes off Maryland and Virginia.
