Hybrid Striped Bass
Chasing hybrid striped bass near Crystal Springs, Mississippi, means heading to larger bodies of water a bit further afield, but the drive is worth it for the hard-fighting action. Okhissa Lake, while known more for its largemouth, can also hold some decent hybrids. The key is to target areas with deeper water and strong current, especially near the dam. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the hybrids school up and actively feed on shad. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits around points and humps is a productive approach. Early morning and late evening are prime times. Local tip: Okhissa Lake has multiple boat ramps, making it easy to launch and explore different parts of the lake. Hybrids in this area are known for their explosive strikes and powerful runs, so be sure to use tackle that can handle the fight. Expect to find fish in the 3-6 pound range, with occasional larger specimens.
