Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass, also known as wipers, aren't as common around McKenzie, TN, as some other species, but they're definitely present and worth targeting. Your best bet is to focus on larger reservoirs within driving distance, such as Kentucky Lake or Lake Barkley, rather than the immediate local waters. While not a native species to the area, they have been stocked in surrounding lakes. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, when the hybrids are most active and aggressive. Look for them near points, humps, and submerged structure. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits are effective techniques. Live shad is also a top bait, if available. A local tip: check the TWRA (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency) stocking reports to see if any recent hybrid stockings have occurred in nearby lakes. These fish can move around quite a bit, so staying updated on their movements is crucial for success. Be prepared for a fight; these fish are known for their explosive runs.
