Fish Species You Can Expect:

He always had a fascination with two species of fish: striped bass and crappie. Not only are these two types of fish plentiful in the region where he fishes, but they also provide an exciting challenge to anglers who target them. 

The striped bass is a species that can grow fairly large, making it a favorite among those who enjoy catching bigger fish. It is known for its aggressiveness when attacking bait or lures and this often makes it easier to catch than some other species. As for the crappie, its smaller size makes it suitable for even novice anglers but experienced anglers know that this species requires finesse to land successfully. 

For Captain James, targeting striped bass and crappie has become second nature over time as he continues to refine his techniques for landing these popular sportfish.
