Hybrid Striped Bass
Looking for fast action and hard-fighting fish? Wilkesboro's Kerr Scott Reservoir is a fantastic spot to target hybrid striped bass. These fish, a cross between striped bass and white bass, are known for their aggressive feeding habits and willingness to strike lures. The spring and fall are peak seasons, as the hybrids school up and chase baitfish near the surface. Trolling crankbaits or casting topwater lures can be incredibly effective when you find a school. During the summer months, look for them deeper, near the dam or around submerged structure. Local anglers often use downriggers or jigging spoons to reach them. Public boat ramps around Kerr Scott provide ample access, but be prepared for potentially crowded conditions, especially on weekends. The hybrid striped bass in Kerr Scott tend to be relatively large and put up a great fight, making them a popular target for anglers of all skill levels.
