Seems to me if the fish are there, the BG's won't have to be in the water that long before they are inhaled there fore hardiness should'nt be a problem.
It would be interesting to see which are hardier. It would stand to reason white perch w/b because they are andromonous. I am sure white perch are also natural prey for migrating stripers at times. Their shape and color more closely resemble herring, pogies, scup or shad.
I clipped the dorsal on mine; not that a decent bass would have any trouble inhaling it. I would assume chunking these would also prove effective and easy on the wallet.
If you have ever tasted WP caught fresh you might not waste them on an inferior tasting fish such as striped bass. I tend to shy away from fresh water fish no matter where they are taken.
As with any larger bait, you would need a good high capacity bait well with aeration. Culling these panfish generally improves our fresh water fisheries as well.
I just moved closer to scituate herring brook -- thats right "HERRING" brook. There is even a fish ladder leading into the reservoir.
I have never seen fish go over it.
I have checked at all times of day over tha last years.
I have seen a handful of herring pulled out of the river/brook by birds and I even cought one on a two springs ago.
I would like to clean it out and rejuvinate it.
any suggestions for first steps?
There is a fine line that seperates a fisherman from a fool standing in water swinging a stick.
