Hybrid Striped Bass
Union Grove, Texas, provides a solid base for targeting hybrid striped bass, also known as 'hybrids' or 'wipers.' Lake O' the Pines is the closest and most reliable water for these hard-fighting fish. Texas Parks and Wildlife stocks hybrids here to supplement the fishery. Spring and early summer are excellent times to fish, as the hybrids school up aggressively to feed. Look for them near the dam and in the main lake points. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits are popular methods. Live bait, like shad or shiners, fished on downlines can also be very productive. A local hotspot is near the Highway 259 bridge. Be aware that the hybrid stripers in Lake O' the Pines tend to be aggressive, but can also be finicky. Vary your presentation and lure choices until you find what they're hitting. Also, check the TPWD stocking reports online to see when the last stocking occurred for the best chances.
