In general, striped bass fishing is best early in the morning and late in the evening, when light levels are lower. Cloudy days can also be a good time for striped bass fishing. In addition, the presence of wind can reduce light penetration in the water, which also favors striped bass fishing. The period from mid-June to the end of September is considered the best for striped bass fishing in Baie-des-Chaleurs.
