Lake Lanier is full of 'em as are most southern lakes. Are they all the same striped bass? The same we catch in the Mississippi? I dunno. The ones we get up here are pretty big, the Connecticut record is 75 pounds, but of course that is not typical. The limit here lately has been in the mid to low thirty inches for keepers, I forget, I will have to check the regs again this season if I go. Here is a typical keeper here in CT or in Long Island Sound, and surrounding areas. http://www.connecticut-fishing-chart...s/P1010005.jpg I am not sure if it's the same fish you are talking about.

If you look at that link I posted you will see the water level is affected by the tide but it is really brackish water being pushed in and out. The real salty water (above 20 PPT) is concentrated down in the south end by the ocean. http://web.vims.edu/physical/WEB/PRE...lt.htm?svr=www Although generally it is always saltier on the bottom it doesn't look like there is much salt in the river upstream of around Port Tobacco. That indicates to me there is a whole lot of fresh water entering the bay from the tributaries and will not really allow much intrusion from the ocean. The wedge effect seems to be limited to the southern part of the bay. You're absolutely correct. That's the problem with the bay, the polutants from all the rivers and streams that dump into it. -- John H For a great time, go here first... http://tinyurl.com/ygqxs5v |
