Stripers, Alabama’s Landlocked Saltwater Gamefish
Updated Jan 11, 2021;
Alabama has had impressive success at rearing landlocked striped bass, a coastal species that has proven its ability to survive and grow to huge sizes in lakes across the state.
Alabama’s stripers are all hatchery-spawned, even though the fish do try to make spawning runs up tributary rivers at Lake Martin and Lewis Smith to drop their eggs. The eggs have to float suspended for many days to hatch, and the rivers don’t have the length and current necessary. The state stocks over a half-million fry-sized stripers each year on the Coosa and Tallapoosa river lakes as well as at Lewis Smith.
