Striped Bass, White Bass, and Hybrids - Striper Fishing

Striped Bass, White Bass, and Hybrids

Striped bass, also called

stripers, are

silver with 7

or 8 dark horizontal

stripes

that are not

broken. Their

body is

longer than white

bass

and they have 2

patches

of teeth on the

tongue.

White

bass are

also

silver, but they have

horizontal black stripes

that are

unbroken above

the lateral line. The

lines

below the lateral line are

barely

visible and

irregular. The horizontal

stripes on a white bass

usually stop just

short of

the tail.

The hybrids, a

combination of the striped bass and

white

bass, have silvery sides with

broken horizontal stripes that

are

unbroken above and below

the lateral

line.

Stripers and white bass are very similar. They both migrate up rivers
and streams in the spring. They thrive in large bodies of water,
especially reservoirs. They primarily feed in schools in open water.
Fishermen will often see schools of bait fish surfacing in open water.
Stripers and white bass will target these large schools of bait fish and
scare them to the top where feeding is fast and furious.

Striped bass are the largest with many fish being caught over 30
pounds. White bass in the 1 to 2 pound range are good-sized fish with
few fish
exceeding 3 pounds. Hybrids are bigger than white bass, but smaller
than stripers. Hybrids in the 10 to 15 pound range are not uncommon,
but fish in the 5 to 10 pound range are considered quality-sized fish.

Striped bass are located mostly on the east coast and in the south.
White bass are found in the south, midwest and throughout some of the
plains states.
