Fishing question

White Bass is a freshwater Striped Bass.
A Hybrid is a cross between the fresh water Striped Bass and Salt water
Striped Bass.
A shell Cracker is just another type of Bream it is a thicker and
larger in general. It has a more yellow bellie than some others. I'm
not sure why they are called that.

I think I am going to have to get a fish chart for this group or look on the
net for one. Thanks. :-)

White Bass are not striped bass. Hybrids are a cross between a striped bass
and a white bass. Fresh and salt water striped bass are the same bass.
Striped bass are anadromous in nature. They go to sea and spawn in fresh
water rivers. They can also stay in the rivers forever. So the striped
bass has been transplanted all over the place. Here in the San Francisco
bay area, they go up the Sacramento and San Joaquin river to spawn and the
majority go to the ocean in the summer to feed. We catch them off the
beaches north and south of the Golden Gate. As well as in the rivers. Lots
up the rivers now, so go fishing until the water cools more, and they slow
down. The were originally planted in the late 1800's and 5 years later
there was a commercial fishery for them.

Those Striped Bass transplanted in the late 1800's in your waters were taken not too far off
my beach here in NJ.

And Striped Bass are not Striped Bass, just another name for a ROCKFISH.
Yea, I'm a Marylander, but anyone on the Bay knows they are Rockfish.

And a Rockfish here in the west is a member of the Sebastes family of fish.

Shellcracker is the Redear Sunfish, named because they eat snails.

The actual White Perch is in the same family as the White Bass and
Striped Bass. In fish markets, White Perch is often Freshwater Drum.

I like the colloquial names; they make fish stories more colorful. But
they can create confusion because the same name can refer to completely
different species. For example, Walleye and Sauger are called "Jack
Salmon" in the South. They're considered one of the best tasting fish.
Often in fish markets, you'll see "Jack Salmon" advertised for low
prices, under $2 a pound. These "Jack Salmon" are NOT Walleye!
They're probably Whiting that have been in deep freeze for months.
Many people probably think they're actual Salmon (they're not Salmon at
all!), so the name can trick many people.

Bream usually refers to Bluegill in the USA, but there are actual Bream
in Australia, a completely different species.

I have caught freshwater Drum. The world record came from below a dam
not too far away.
I'm not sure they are related to White Bass, at all.
