Hybrid Striped Bass
Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley near Benton are becoming increasingly popular for Hybrid Striped Bass. These hard-fighting fish provide a thrilling experience. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, as they follow schools of shad. Look for schooling activity on the main lake or near points and humps. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits and topwater lures can be very effective. A local tip: Pay attention to bird activity, as diving birds often indicate the presence of feeding hybrids. Also, try fishing near the dam at Kentucky Lake, as the current attracts baitfish and hybrids. These fish are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, so be sure to use sturdy tackle. Remember to check the Kentucky fishing regulations for size and creel limits, as they can differ from those for striped bass.
