Hybrid Striped Bass
Targeting hybrid striped bass near Memphis requires a bit of a drive, but the rewards can be significant. While not as common in the immediate Memphis area, heading east towards Pickwick Lake or Kentucky Lake will put you in prime hybrid territory. These fish are stocked in these Tennessee River impoundments and offer exciting action. Spring and fall are the best times, as hybrids school up and chase baitfish. Look for them near points, humps, and submerged structure. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be effective. Live shad is also a top bait. A local tip: Check the TWRA (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency) stocking reports to see where hybrids have been recently released. Also, pay attention to the thermocline during the summer months, as hybrids will often suspend just above it. Hybrids in these lakes can reach impressive sizes, with some exceeding 10 pounds, so be prepared for a good fight.
