Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass, or 'hybrids,' offer exciting fishing action near Southlake, Texas, primarily in Grapevine Lake. These hard-fighting fish are stocked regularly, providing consistent opportunities. Spring and fall are the most productive times, as hybrids school up and chase baitfish. Look for them near points, humps, and main lake channels. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits and topwater lures can be effective. Live shad is also a popular and productive bait. The Twin Coves Marina area is a known hotspot, and the lake's dam is another area worth exploring. Be prepared for a battle – hybrids are known for their strength and stamina. Remember to check Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for size and bag limits, as they can vary. A fish finder is highly recommended to locate schools of baitfish and the hybrid stripers feeding on them.
