Hybrid Striped Bass
Kimball, South Dakota, might not be the first place that comes to mind for hybrid striped bass, but Lake Sharpe, a large reservoir on the Missouri River, offers a unique opportunity to target these hard-fighting fish. Hybrids are stocked in Lake Sharpe to help manage other fish populations, and they've thrived, offering anglers exciting action. The best time to fish for hybrids is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Look for them near points, humps, and submerged structure, especially where baitfish are concentrated. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits and topwater lures can be effective. A local tip is to pay attention to the wind; hybrids often school up on the windward side of the lake. The boat ramp at the Platte Creek Recreation Area provides excellent access to Lake Sharpe. Be prepared for a strong fight – these fish are known for their powerful runs and stamina.
