bass-salmon-bass?

this may be a throw back to an alcohol imbibed brain but i heard before of this strange frankenfish - and then the last day up in sligo this guy pegged beside me asked if i ever came across a salmon-bass

how is my lunacy or have any other posters heard of this before?

**hick**

Yeh, **hick**, the're defo **hick** around, not an urban **hick** myth

apparently they can be found knocking about with shoals of ocean sun trout

Ah the ole ocean sun trout......

Their numbers are not what they were....damn those netters

Salmon-bass is the old nickname for bass, just like saithe for pollack and blackjacks for coalies.

Salmon-bass is the old nickname for bass, just like saithe for pollack and blackjacks for coalies.

it is an old nickname i remember my father coming back from all night sessions in wexford in the 1970s with salmon bass.

saithe are coalies.
the only other name i ever came accross for pollack was blossom.

MY GREAT UNCLE OFTEN TALKED OF CATCHING SALMON BASS OFF THE BULL WALL, I ALWAYS JUST ASSUMED BASS / SALMON BASS WERE ONE AND THE SAME I WAS JUST TOO POLITE TO QUESTION HIS KNOWLEDGE. SOME PEOPLE ON SITE THINK A WILD BROWN TROUT AND A STOCKLED BROWN TROUT ARE DIFFERENT SPECIES .

heres a pic of a stockled brown frankenfish

A stockled brown trout

Is that different from a stocked brown trout

Maybe I'm missing something

just another sub species , similar to salmo labrax

Look at seanies profile. He's an expert on species identification.

your right shamoo stocked brown trout, the K and L are beside each other on the keypad must have hit it or i just invented another species which im off out now to catch as it only feeds the eve of halloween not telling you where my stockled brown trout mark is though.
