How is the striper fishing at Lake Palestine these days? I haven't fished the lake since the mid-1980s...

TIA, Step

Thought Palestine only had Hybrids??

That is correct, Hybrids and Sand Bass. No pure Stripers.

Hybrid and sand bass fishing is great.

Hybrids are pretty solid on south end of the lake. There are quiet a few underwater and dock lights on east side of the lake and you can catch your fill of them at night.

Thanks DUMan. By the way have you ever duck hunted the lake?

Im going to highjack the thread…

What's the best lure to catch sand bass right now? Are they only up by the river right now?
I'm fishing off "the point" in Emerald Bay. I don't have a boat.
I do have a yak but built more for a river than lake so I don't venture far from our access when I do put it in the lake.
I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to choosing correct baits for conditions/species.
I have two young boys that are wanting to learn.
Thanks in advance

Swim baits always produce Whites/Hybrids/Striper for us

Bank fishing a lake for temperate bass is challenging due to the schooling behavior all whites / hybrids have. They are constantly chasing bait balls around the lake so being limited to a shoreline is tough. When white bass are schooling and actively feeding, you can throw any crappie jig or small spoon and catch plenty.

Yes and you can email me it's in my profile will also share some fishing information.

If the shad spawn is on, which usually happens this time of year, wading windy points can work, especially early and late. Throw something with some heft, like a Little George or Slab spoon.

Thanks everyone for all the info!
