Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass, or wipers, are not a common catch in Palo Alto, but stocked populations in nearby reservoirs can occasionally make their way into the brackish waters connected to the San Francisco Bay. Targeting them specifically requires some effort and research into recent stocking reports from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. If wipers are present, spring and fall are your best bets, as these fish tend to follow baitfish migrations. Access can be challenging without a boat; kayak fishing is popular. Focus on areas where freshwater mixes with saltwater, as this is where baitfish tend to congregate. Local tip: Check for any reported sightings or catches on local fishing forums. Wipers are schooling fish, so finding one often means finding more. If you locate them, fast-moving lures like crankbaits and swimbaits are often effective.
