These fish are an important component in providing quality fishing and diversity to Georgia’s freshwater resources. WRD stocks stripers and hybrids in 28 water bodies ranging from 84 to 45,000 acres. The average weight of a striped bass is 8 - 10 pounds and hybrids average about 3 pounds. Best time to fish: Bank and boat fi shing in shallow water is most productive from Oct. – May. During summer, trolling with live bait in deeper water is the most productive. Angler tips: Casting or trolling with artificial lures in shallow water (less than 10 feet) and deeper water (15-30 feet) is productive in reservoirs. Gear/Bait: Beginner anglers should use a medium weight, 6 - 7 foot spinning or spincasting combination with 12 - 17 pound line. Common striper baits are 3/8 ounce white bucktail jigs, soft plastic jerk baits, large minnow-like lures and live bait (minnows, bluegill, shad and blueback herring). The best live bait methods include still fishing with a large bobber in shallow water and vertically fishing with a 1-ounce sinker in deep water. Use size 4 hooks with large live baits to land big stripers and hybrids.
