Never know what is swimming in the bay
Caught this fish Jan. 20th near the bridge in about 50 feet of water.
Looks to be a hybrid - wonder where it swam from ? http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps62346725.jpg It was shaped like a Perch - wide and thin but had stripes like a Rock. Mouth was much smaller than same size Rock. |
Caught one of the hybrids in the fall...Looked a lot more like a striped bass than a white perch...Broken stripes caught me off guard for a while...It's hard to believe they are still living...And it looks like living well...
Amazing that the one you caught looks so perch like.... |

I asked about hybrids on Tidal Fish - some offered very good info / ideas.
Likely it came from Pa. - hybrids are in the Conowingo lake. Seems to be two hybrids used. One is White Bass / Striper - the other is a White Perch / Striper. The one I caught really fits a Perch / Rock mix. |
The son of on one of my coworkers is a commercial fisherman and was running a gillnet a few weeks ago near the Patapsco and brought up an unusual fish. It was a 5' long Sturgeon. Saw a picture of it last week so it is confirmed. How would you like to be trolling and see that on the end of your line!

FWIW:
Big Sturgeon were often shot with rifles to feed the work crews when Conowingo was built. Think that dam really hurt a lot of fish populations. Some would swim far upriver to spawn - now they are stuck. Really not that long ago. Few Sturgeons are caught each year in nets in Md - the Delaware river has more of them. Know a diver who has bumped into a few of them up there on a gravel piece of bottom. Here I though Cownose Rays were spooky. |
