Hey chilly, Didn't that landlocked silver-sided wiper come from Crappieville?
Is there any sure fired way to tell the difference between white perch and white bass? I believe they actually are two different species, but the fish I catch at the Quabbin Res. in West/Central MA are usually caught on the bottom and in schools in very specific locations. I believe they are white perch, but there must be a way to really tell for sure?
I think it makes a difference where and when you catch white perch. the end of ice season I brought 4 perch less than 1 lb each home fried them up yummy. last week two bigger fish 2+ lbs there in spawning you might as well eat mud this was in N,H. good clean water. As far as Striper's I only have saltwater one to compare and there's no comparison
