An interesting report Martin.
Striped Bass, like the Salmon species, are of course anadromous, migrating between fresh & salt and then back to fresh to breed. I suspect though, like the Pacific Salmon species stocked in the tributaries and feeder rivers of Lake Ontario (Upper New York State), they use the lake as their equivalent of the sea in that part of their life cycle.
Personally I?ve only targeted Stripers in the sea. Just like you experienced though, off places like Montauk on the end of Long Island, when Bay Anchovy fry are swept past the point, they often feed just as aggressively. There?re some illustrations of the famous ?blitzes? on posts 6 and 7 of this link - http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42044&highlight=Amityville
