Got a couple big 11inch white bass or white perch or silver bass whatever the heck they are I kept the are they any good eating? How big do they get
Yes I was there also I hope they didn't bother you'll they were boy scout on there first time out and yes they had a great time.
not sure how many wallls r in the lake. have not heard much on success of stocking program the last few years.most wallls we catch thru ice r either off prendergast or mission meadows. tough bite go small. 7s or #5 rapsseem to produce even when a live minnow wont. do not tip rap with anything.about 15 yrs ago we pulled white perch 22 n 24in thru the ice of long point. these fish were breeders.never saw in lake before that. makes me wonder where they came from. also that seemed that was beginning of end forchaq's great walleye fishing.can anybody verify this? about 4 yrs ago there was an apparent carp die off. i understand carp eat tons ofperch eggs; this mite explain all the dinks. either way this good ice shld help reduce nos.... if u feel like cleaning 7 inchers. either way chaq sure isnt what it was not that long ago.tite line my friends!!!!
cld be wrong... wldnt be 1st time but fished chaq since 75 n never saw a fish like that til then. never even saw a white perch in the lake tilabout 2000. yhey reminded me of a striped bass but were not white bass, caught plenty of those in erie.these were big fat fish with more rounded body than long.... more like a white perch than white bass.wish i had pictures now but that was 99 n no cell ph with camera in my arsenal back thenl
Ps. thanks to whoever posted on finding the 9to10 foot hole off the park in Mayville!! hit it about 300ish yards out and cleaned up on big perch and a couple mystery breakoffs (to big for 1#line)or toothy ?admittedly though,i did get alot of dinks till i found the spot!even then they only hit the dead stick!figured that out after getting bored and taking a beverage and munch break.
Anybody get into the evening craps yet at mayville or Burtis.?
anybody got any word on Bear Lake? It's kind of quiet on here about that.
i also caught these white bass in chaut,are they good to eat ? If so how do you cook them?
