There's only one body of water in cali that has them white bass.
otherwise, I have no idea where you were fishing at. The dam is loaded with fish. Gotta loved them dams.
There are lakes like hogan where there are 10 striper limit and no size restriction. They want to get rid of them for some reason. The white folks up there in the boonies don't eat striper or something.
Very cool to see pictures of fishes.
