Float tubes are a convenient and affordable way to get on the water, and finally get to those fish that you can't reach from shore. Discuss float tubes, outfitting float tubes for fishing, and float tube fishing.

Numbers? Nyet. Variety? Da!

Post by Carpkiller »

South Bay this morning.

Got six spotted bass (do you really need a pic?).

And two silver thangs....

Two brown and white flat things. One micro...the other legal, but failed to hang on for a decent pic.

(Note to self: If you're gonna carry a net, make it big enough and deep enough to hold a big fish...)

Also got a Mossy Oak Special SoBay Edition Camo Bass...

The other guy had similar results, but his silver thang had fangs.

RespeCKfully....
There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby

Possibly sand bass are chromatophores, meaning they can change color to match the background. Many fish are, including largemouth bass. I have seen largemouth bass (at the same lake) vary from almost silver (open water) to green to dark.

Or maybe it is a hybrid between a spotted bay bass and a sand bass. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=d ... 9&dpr=1.25

Probably not though since there aren't any spots on it.

Spotted bay bass and stripers can also crossbreed. Would love to catch one of these. https://wonews.com/new-saltwater-bass-s ... cientists/ . Looks like spots are a dominant gene.
