Hybrid Striped Bass
Targeting hybrid striped bass near Bigelow, Arkansas? The Arkansas River, particularly the stretch above and below Murray Lock and Dam, is your best bet. Hybrids thrive in the turbulent waters below the dam, chasing shad and other baitfish. While spring and fall are traditionally considered prime seasons, these fish can be caught year-round. Focus on periods of increased current and water flow. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits that imitate shad are effective techniques. Live bait, such as shad or shiners, can also be productive, especially when fished near the bottom. Be aware of the strong currents and boat traffic, especially near the dam. Access is available at several public boat ramps along the river, but arrive early, especially on weekends, as they can get crowded. Local tip: Check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission website for the latest fishing reports and stocking information, as hybrid striped bass are often stocked in this area.
