Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass, or 'hybrids,' are a popular target in Lake Hartwell near Belton, South Carolina. These hard-fighting fish are stocked regularly, creating a consistent fishery. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them as they school up and feed aggressively. Look for them near the dam and in the main lake channels, especially where there's current. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be highly effective. A good local tip is to pay attention to bird activity; diving birds often indicate schooling hybrids feeding on baitfish below. Another good tactic is to use live bait, such as shad or herring, fished on downlines. The hybrids in Hartwell are known for their incredible strength and stamina, so be prepared for a tough battle. The Portman Shoals area is known to hold some impressive schools of hybrids. Check local regulations for size and creel limits, as they can vary.
