Hybrid Striped Bass
If you're looking for some hard-fighting hybrid striped bass, Calvert City, Kentucky, is a great place to start. Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley are renowned for their populations of these aggressive fish. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the hybrids follow schools of shad. Focus your efforts around points, humps, and areas with current, especially near the dams. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits that imitate shad can be highly effective. Local tip: The discharge from the dams can create excellent feeding opportunities, but be aware of changing water levels and strong currents. These hybrids can reach impressive sizes, often exceeding 10 pounds, so be sure to use appropriate tackle. Keep an eye on your electronics for bait balls, as the hybrids will often be nearby.
