HYBRIDS AND WHITE BASS

IAM INTERESTED IN WHAT HAPPEN TO THE HYBRIDS AND WHITE BASS IN LAKE MURRAY. BACK IN THE EARLY 1970 THE LAKE HAD THEM ALL OVER. I HAVE HEARD THAT A FUNGUS KILL THEM AND ALSO THE SILVER PERCH HAD A EFFECT ON THEM.DOES ANYONE HAVE A ANSWER :question:AND CAN THEY BE RESTOCKED IN THE LAKE?

I have not heard of any being caught in years, so they certainly are being caught in numbers like they were when my father used to fish them hard. Perhaps DNR is not stocking them anymore.

The White Bass have disappeared from Santee Cooper as well.
I really used to enjoy catching them.
Don’t know where they went.
Did the catfish eat them?
Who knows?

I caught a white bass a couple of weeks ago about the size of a crappie in Murray on a broken back rapala. First white bass i’ve ever caught.

I went down to the sporting goods store and got a new rod and reel for my wife…pretty good trade, don’t ya think?
