Congratulations on the fish. I talked to the game warden last year about the white bass in HR. I thought i had caught some and he told me they were white perch. He said that they hadn't stocked any in there in some years now. Nice looking spotted bass also.

Don't always believe what a game warden tells you. I've caught white bass out of Abotts creek for many years. Yes, There are plenty of white perch in HR but white perch don't get as big as a white bass. I've even caught large white bass trolling for stripers. White bass will have faint lines running down their sides. White perch may have one, maybe two at the most barely visible.

True. Ask the guys that fish way up the river about White Bass. They are still in High Rock.

Was you towards the very back of Abbotts Creek or more towards the main lake?

I've caught several white bass in Abbott's too. Since I've caught hundreds many years ago before the perch invasion, I can promise you the ones in Abbott's are White Bass.

FYI, a white 1/6 oz roostertail is a white bass' favorite treat
