Hybrid Striped Bass
For anglers seeking hard-fighting hybrid striped bass near Colonial Heights, the tidal James River is worth exploring. These fish, a cross between striped bass and white bass, are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons, coinciding with the striped bass runs. Focus your efforts around areas with current, such as near bridges, points, and creek mouths. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be effective methods. A local tip is to pay attention to the water temperature; hybrids tend to be more active when the water is between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Public boat ramps, like the one at Hopewell City Marina, provide easy access to the river. The hybrid striped bass in this section of the James River are often stocked, ensuring a healthy population and consistent fishing opportunities.
