Ray Hubbard Fishing | Hybrid Striped Bass Fishing Report | BIG Hybrid Update!!!

Hey everybody! Its been a CRAZY busy week on Ray Hubbard and I am happy to have tomorrow off :) Over the last few days i've had no less than 33 people go fishing on my boat and I'm exhausted! But never fear....A quick update and report is here!

Tuesday 5/14 AM
 - We started looking for early hybrids shallow and found some birds working on a flat in 4ft of water.  Big fish were chasing shad around and it was easy pickens for about an hour or so.  We had 3 generations of the Byrne Family and they had a blast picking up non-stop hybrids.  Brian, age 9, was a BEAST out there and needed no help landing fish, including this over 7# hybrid.  It was actually a little  under the Jr. Lake Record :) But thats just fine with Brian...It ended up being the biggest of the day

Tuesday 5/14 PM
 - Had first time guest Danny and his office team out on the boat for an evening run chasing white bass and whatever else would bite.  We didn't have to look too far from the marina to find TONS of white bass sitting on humps out toward the middle of the lake.  We ended up with a "Sand Bass Slaughter" and brought home the bacon with 125 white bass and a few other species to complete a mixed bag.

Wednesday 5/15 AM

 - Had repeat guests and good friend Dean and his family out for a morning of "we want big fish!" We started checking some of the usual schooling locations and found some bigguns willing to play along.  Ended up checking lots of windy shorelines and found some NICE hybrid scattered about.  We all had a blast!

Thursday 5/16 AM

 - Had repeat guests Jim and his friends and family out today to try and find some more bigguns running around.  Last night we had some torrential rain and the lake came up .57'.  The morning started off promising but evidentially the rain took its toll on our shallow bite.  The schooling action started later than normal and there were very few big fished mixed in.  Only saw a few nice top water splashes but nothing that was willing to bite.  We ended the day finding a MASSIVE school of white bass running around in 18ft near midlake and caught all we needed for a weekend fish fry.  Today was one of the days where a guide earns his living :) Nothing was given...we had to search for everything we caught.  Hopefully the bite will stabilize this evening and pick back up tomorrow!
