Hybrids in Cumberland.........

[apb]

A true striped bass will generally have two patches of teeth on the base of the tongue...

As do Hybrids. White Bass have one patch of teeth on the tongue. Good idea on downloading the fish ID booklet. I know there are a few out there that confuse me!

I now about the teeth too,i had always been a bass fisherman and crappie,if i caught anything else it went back for a swim,bass did too.I then started fishing with an older man i met at work and with with him and a guid friend of his,i never been back since i heard of the teeth thing,i looked back at some of the pics and they look like hybrids so it shows you need to know the other identification methods..thanks for the help,they were all about 19 inchers or so,glad i didn't caught i don't break rules heck i don't keep crappie unless there 10 or better at nolin and rough but one them may have grown up to be a 50lber.

Just have the same regs as stripers- 2 fish 24" long and it would be ok. Otherwise small stripers get put on ice.

I like that Idea, it makes the most sense. Wow 24 inch hybrids, Yeahaaaa. You might have to go to see the chiropractor after an all day of catching them dudes. Something about mixing stripes and whites makes em mean.......

I think it would be great to put some hybrids in Lake Cumberland. I catch alot of em at Herrington and they can really stretch ur line. But my best fishin for em is at night under lights. Wow we already know the deal with the dock owners and fishin near the docks, may create another problem.

Moose I don't belive they can either, do to the fact the hatchery is there and that river stays cold all year long. This is also a TVA dam due to they generate elec with the outflow, in reailty the lake being drawn down so low is going to inpact more than fishing, but might make it a good bass lake for a while.
