Hybrid Striped Bass
South Hill, Virginia, serves as a gateway to excellent hybrid striped bass fishing in Kerr Lake (Buggs Island Lake). Kerr Lake is stocked with hybrids, and they thrive in its open waters. These hard-fighting fish are a blast to catch. Spring and fall are prime times, as the hybrids school up and chase baitfish near the surface. Look for them around points, humps, and in the main lake channels. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits and topwater lures can be highly effective. A local tip: Keep an eye out for bird activity; diving birds often indicate schools of baitfish, and the hybrids won't be far behind. The Nutbush Creek area and the area near the dam are known hybrid hotspots. Several boat ramps provide access, including those at Occoneechee State Park and North Bend Park. Kerr Lake hybrids are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making for an exciting angling experience.
