You can catch those anywhere close to the shore where there are rocks.

I stand corrected.
You'd think I'd know the difference considering my avatar.

Until recently I thought they were all warmouth. I read a post on another forum and saw the difference. Who knew? Not me.

don't know that i have ever seen a warmouth then. I have caught all kinds of perch, but never ones as pink as that one. We used to catch bream all the time on crickets. THey were big bluegill and chinquapin (don't ask if i am spelling this right or what - just what they were called). THey had less color than the bluegill and typically would come larger. I am from LA ya know.

Have the rules changed at Bethany lakes, I thought the signs read catch and release only

Oh i threw it back, notice i said I "bet" they eat pretty good. Just guessing. usually those perch type fish have great flavor if you can get a mess big enough to fry up.

We catch them all the time, they are WARMOUTH. We used to fish Caddo Lake in East Texas all the time, thats when I first sall them. They are a great catch, and school in mass just like Gills...

Green ear and warmouth look similar but the one in the pic is fo sho a green sunfish and not a warmouth. Look at the comparison in the 2 pics. Its crystal clear.

And welcome to the forum
