Hybrid Striped Bass

Hybrid Striped Bass

Various

While not as common as other species, hybrid striped bass can offer a thrilling challenge in the waters near Lake Helen, particularly in the St. Johns River. These hard-fighting fish are stocked in some Florida lakes and can migrate through connected waterways. Look for them in areas with current, such as the river channel and near bridge pilings. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they follow baitfish migrations. Use lures that imitate shad or other small baitfish, such as crankbaits, swimbaits, and jigs. A local tip: try fishing near the confluence of the Wekiva River and the St. Johns River, as this area often holds good numbers of hybrids. Be aware that hybrid stripers require a heavier rod and reel setup than largemouth bass. While the population isn't huge, hooking into one of these fish is sure to be a memorable experience.
