      yep that is true, the saltwater ones become especially active in the colder months too, that's one of the only place I have the chance to catch them where I ...more live

      actually there's a yellow bass and then there's striped bass (rock bass) which are two different species, but that just further adds to the confusion haha

      Yeah UR ridge and I think striker are a little more yellow tinted than rock bass, correct me if I'm wrong though. @seaturtles

      exactly and theres a fish called a whiting that also has 3 other names that it goes by: sea mullet, kingfish, and roundhead so it can get a little confusing with ...more common names

      and your not wrong, it's just that so many fish are called rock fish that it's confusing. There are Pacific Ocean rockfish, the rockfish that are a type ...more of sunfish, and then there's also striped bass

      Yeah that's what I've always thought. @seaturtles

      technically striped bass are called rock bass in certain areas, in my city they are called rockbass, it gets pretty confusing sometimes @MattLewis
