Hey guys curious to see what you are catching your hybrid stripers on. So far the only thing I can seem to catch them on is pellet imitation flies and egg patterns around the feeders.

I've caught them on shiners/minnows, some lures, and a lot of times on feed pellets.

I would say that once HSB are 'older,' they're more prone to hit live minnows/shiners or feed pellets.


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

With fly rods, almost any streamer will work. Lefty's Deceiver, Clouser Minnows, any of Enrico's minnow shaped lures(Peanut Butter), and Fish-Skull streamers.

Always shop local, but if nothing's close, then these are good places to shop.

I have never caught a HSB. However, in similar threads from the past, esshup's lure of choice is mentioned frequently for ponds with feeders.

I read that to OP wanting something other than pellet sized bait/lures. SS do work well though.

3" BG under a cork is the quickest way to catch the HSB in my pond.
