Hybrid Striped Bass
Central City, Kentucky, presents a fun opportunity to target hybrid striped bass in its freshwater impoundments and river systems. While not as prevalent as other game fish, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources stocks hybrids in certain areas, offering anglers a chance to land these hard-fighting fish. Lake Malone, a short drive from Central City, is a known location for hybrid stripers. Spring and fall are typically the best seasons, as the hybrids become more active in cooler water. Look for them schooling near points, humps, and submerged structure. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be effective techniques. Keep an eye out for surface activity, as hybrids will often chase baitfish near the surface. A practical tip: Lake Malone State Park has a good boat ramp and provides easy access to the lake. Also, be aware that hybrid striped bass often school tightly, so if you catch one, there are likely more in the area. Check local regulations regarding size and creel limits for hybrid striped bass.
