Local Species Insights: Wiper

Wiper, the hybrid cross between White Bass and Striped Bass, thrives in Pamlico Sound's brackish waters where varying salinity levels create ideal feeding conditions. These aggressive fighters typically range from 12 to 20 inches and are known for their powerful runs and acrobatic fights on light tackle. In Oriental waters, Wiper often school with Striped Bass around current breaks and structure, making them a welcome surprise for anglers targeting the sound's diverse gamefish population. Their hybrid vigor and willingness to hit both artificials and cut bait make them an exciting catch during any inshore fishing adventure.
