Hybrid Striped Bass
Targeting hybrid striped bass near Del Rio? Lake Amistad is your go-to spot. These hard-fighting fish are stocked in the reservoir and offer an exciting alternative to largemouth bass. The best time to chase hybrids is during the cooler months, particularly spring and fall, when water temperatures are more moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Look for them around main lake points, humps, and near the dam. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be highly effective. Live shad is also a top producer, especially when fished near schools of baitfish. Amistad's hybrid population is known for its aggressive strikes and impressive size, with fish commonly reaching several pounds. Be sure to check water levels and clarity before you go, as these can impact fishing success. A local tip: many anglers find success fishing early mornings or late evenings when the hybrids are more likely to be near the surface.
