New Hampshire officials are asking anglers to help monitor the region’s striped bass population.

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s Marine Division is inviting anglers to participate in their annual monitoring efforts through the Striped Bass Angler Survey.

Since 1993, the New Hampshire Striped Bass Angler Survey has been used as a tool for managing the striped bass population.

Participating volunteer anglers complete logbooks, which provide the Marine Division with information about their fishing trips.

The volunteer angler surveys help officials gather length data on catch-and-release fish that cannot be obtained through annual creel surveys.

The data is used to provide a more complete picture of New Hampshire’s striped bass fishery.
