Hybrid Striped Bass
While Del Mar is known for its coastal fishing, targeting Hybrid Striped Bass requires venturing inland to nearby freshwater reservoirs and lakes. Lake Hodges, about 30 minutes east, is your best bet. These hard-fighting fish thrive in the lake's fluctuating water levels and abundant baitfish. Spring and fall are prime times, as the hybrids school up to chase shad. Look for surface activity early and late in the day. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits along points and drop-offs can be productive. A local tip: check the San Diego County Parks website for current lake conditions and launch ramp status, as water levels can impact access. Also, be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. The hybrids here can reach impressive sizes, so use sturdy tackle.
