Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass, often called 'hybrids' or 'wipers', provide exciting fishing action near Cove City. While not as common as largemouth or catfish, they are stocked in some of the larger reservoirs connected to the Neuse River watershed. Spring and fall are the most productive times to target them, as they school up and aggressively chase baitfish. Look for them near points, humps, and drop-offs, especially where there is current. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits and topwater lures can be effective. A local's secret: check with local bait shops for information on recent stockings and the best areas to fish. Also, be aware of size and creel limits, as they can differ from those for striped bass. Hybrids are known for their powerful runs and hard fighting ability, so be prepared for a battle! The population isn't as prolific as in some other areas of the state, but the opportunity to catch a trophy hybrid makes it worthwhile.
