Hybrid Striped Bass
When fishing for wipers, concentrate on the deeper waters in the lake. If you can locate schools of shad, stripers are often close by. When the baitfish are shallow, over the deep water, you can catch stripers on crankbaits or by swimming spoons at appropriate depths. For the ultimate thrill try large topwater baits if you see any surface feeding action. When the stripers are deep, jigs and jigging spoons work well. Live and cut bait will also take hybrid striped bass when they are in medium to deeper water. Fish nearby or in the river channel if it offers a defined depth change. Trolling is also an excellent way to fish for wipers. Use flashy lures in bigger sizes. Hybrid striped bass, known for their strength and spirited fights, provide an exhilarating angling experience.

Additional Striper Information
While stripers are native to salt water, they naturally migrate into fresh water streams to spawn. Their eggs must remain in motion in order to hatch so the fresh water rivers and streams become the ideal spawning grounds for stripers.
