Hybrid Striped Bass Fishing Tips
Hybrid striped bass are a cross between white bass and striped bass, and pound-for-pound, one of the
hardest-fighting fish swimming in Ohio’s waters today. Currently, the Ohio Division of Wildlife is
stocking Buckeye, Charles Mill, Dillon, East Fork, Griggs, Kiser and O'Shaughnessy lakes, and the Ohio
River. Hybrid striped bass can grow considerably larger than a white bass and are more tolerant of Ohio’s
warm water than striped bass.
TIPS
Use cast nets to catch gizzard shad for bait.
Hybrid striped bass hooking mortality increases greatly when water temperatures exceed 70°F. Increase survival on
released fish by landing fish quickly, reducing handling time, keeping fish in the water as hook is removed, and
cutting the line on deeply-hooked fish. Try using a circle hook if using live bait.
If you plan on keeping some hybrid stripers, place them on ice to maintain flavor and firmness of their flesh.
Remove all the dark reddish meat from the center line of the fillets to reduce the strong, fishy taste of larger
fish.
