Hybrid Striped Bass
If you're after some hard-fighting hybrid striped bass near Kemp, Texas, Cedar Creek Reservoir is your best bet. This lake is stocked with hybrids, offering anglers an exciting opportunity to catch these powerful fish. The spring and fall months are typically the most productive, as the hybrids school up and actively feed. Look for them near the dam, main lake points, and around submerged humps. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits are popular techniques. Live shad is also an effective bait. A local tip: pay attention to bird activity, as diving birds often indicate schools of baitfish, and the hybrids won't be far behind. Several boat ramps provide easy access to the lake. Cedar Creek hybrids can reach impressive sizes, with fish often exceeding 5 pounds, and some reaching double digits. Be aware of the Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for hybrid striped bass, including size and bag limits.
