Hybrid Striped Bass

Hybrid striped bass fishing near Mullin, Texas, primarily revolves around Lake Proctor. This reservoir is stocked with these hard-fighting fish, offering anglers a thrilling freshwater experience. The best time to target hybrids is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. During these periods, the fish are actively feeding, chasing shad in open water and near the dam. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be highly effective. Early mornings and late evenings are usually the most productive. A local tip: pay attention to bird activity; diving birds often indicate schools of shad, and hybrids are likely nearby. The Lake Proctor boat ramp provides easy access. Keep an eye on the TPWD stocking reports to see recent hybrid releases, as this can greatly influence fishing success. Hybrids in Proctor typically range from 2 to 8 pounds, with larger fish possible.
