Rod, I thought he mentioned hybrid bluegill rather than hybrid striper. Hybrid bluegill are notoriously easy to catch, even more than bluegill. But you're right about hybrid stripers, they are very much a hit or miss proposition even when good numbers are present!

Sorry GT!
Disregard my HSB (hybrid striped bass comments), I had a brain freeze on you trying to catch the "hybrids" that you had put in the pond. Fortunately anthropic noted my error.
