How to catch hybrid striped bass?
Hybrids are primarily piscivorous, aggressively eating threadfin shad and other small fish that can fit in their mouths. They typically average around 2-5 lbs and max out around 20lbs. Anything over 5lbs will give you a really nice fight.Hybrid Striped Bass, also called Wipers, Sunshine Bass, and Palmetto Bass, are a good example of how 1+1 can equal 3. They are a cross between a White Bass and a Striped Bass and are more aggressive and fight harder pound for pound than either of their parents. A fish produced using a White Bass mother and a Striped Bass father are called Sunshine Bass, while the offspring of a Striped Bass mother and White Bass father are called Palmetto Bass. The latter is more common because Striped Bass produce a lot of eggs, and are faster growing and attain a larger adult size. They are bred and commonly stocked throughout the United States and are popular for their fighting qualities as well as their food value. They occasionally occur naturally as well.
