Hybrid Striped Bass
Santee, South Carolina, is renowned for its hybrid striped bass, also known as “stripers” or “hybrids.” Lakes Marion and Moultrie are the epicenters of this freshwater striper action. These fish are stocked and thrive in the open water, chasing baitfish schools. The best time to target hybrids is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate, and they are actively feeding. Trolling with crankbaits or live bait is a popular and effective method. Look for schooling activity, often indicated by birds diving or surface disturbances. Early morning and late afternoon are typically the most productive times. Consider hiring a local guide for the best results, as they know the lakes intimately and can put you on the fish. Several public boat ramps provide easy access to the lakes. Keep an eye on the local fishing reports to stay informed about current conditions and striper locations. Be aware of size and creel limits for hybrid striped bass in South Carolina.
