Hybrid Striped Bass

Hybrid Striped Bass fishing near Oxford offers an exciting challenge, particularly on Grenada Lake. These hard-fighting fish are stocked in Grenada, and provide great sport. Target them in the open water areas of the lake, especially near the dam and along major creek channels. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits are effective techniques. Look for schooling activity, often indicated by birds diving on baitfish. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the hybrids are more active in cooler water temperatures. A useful tip: pay attention to the thermocline depth, as hybrids will often congregate just above it. Sonar is essential for locating schools of fish. Grenada Lake hybrids can reach impressive sizes, so be sure to use appropriate tackle. Be aware of size and creel limits for hybrids in Mississippi.
