When the sun starts dropping and the water cools down, that's when things get real interesting for striped bass fishing. This evening guided trip with Hog Moon Fishing LLC runs from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, hitting that sweet spot when the bass start moving up to feed. Departing from Bobbie's Boats Bait & Tackle, you'll get two focused hours on the water with Captain who knows exactly where these fish like to hang out during the evening bite. At $250 for up to three anglers, this trip is perfect for anyone wanting to experience some of the best striped bass action without committing to a full day on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

This isn't your typical dawn patrol fishing trip - we're targeting that magical evening window when striped bass get active as temperatures drop. The two-hour timeframe keeps things tight and focused, which means every cast counts. You'll be fishing with a small group of just three anglers max, so there's plenty of room to work and no fighting over fishing spots. The captain provides all the high-quality rods and reels you'll need, plus all the tackle - we're talking top-rated gear that can handle whatever the bay throws at you. Just remember to grab your saltwater registry before you head out, because that's required for anyone fishing these waters. The atmosphere is relaxed but serious about putting fish in the boat, making it a customer favorite for both locals and visitors looking for that evening bite experience.

Techniques and Tackle

We keep it simple but deadly effective on these evening trips - soft plastics and jigs are the name of the game. These lures work perfectly during the late bite when bass are cruising shallow water looking for easy meals. You'll be casting to structure, drop-offs, and anywhere the fish are showing up on the fish finder. The captain will walk you through the best techniques for working soft plastics, from the slow roll along the bottom to the more aggressive jigging action that can trigger reaction strikes. All the tackle is bait-free, which means we're relying purely on technique and lure presentation to fool these fish. The boat is set up specifically for this type of fishing, with plenty of space to cast and work lures properly. Whether you're new to soft plastic fishing or a seasoned angler, the captain will adjust the approach to match your skill level while keeping everyone in the game.

Top Catches This Season

Striped bass are the undisputed kings of inshore fishing around here, and for good reason. These fish are built for power - they'll hit a lure hard and then make blistering runs that'll test your drag and your nerves. During evening hours, stripers often move into shallower water to ambush baitfish, making them prime targets for soft plastic presentations. You're looking at fish anywhere from schoolie size up to legitimate keepers in the 20-30 inch range, with the occasional bruiser that'll really get your heart pumping. The best part about evening striped bass fishing is their aggressive feeding behavior - when they're on, they're really on. These fish are incredibly smart and can be picky, which makes landing one feel like a real accomplishment. Spring through fall offers the most consistent action, but these evening trips capitalize on daily feeding patterns that happen year-round when conditions are right. What makes striped bass so exciting to target is their unpredictability - you might catch three in ten minutes, then spend an hour working for the next bite. That's what keeps anglers coming back for more.
