Sunshine Bass

Sunshine Bass

unshine bass are a hybrid

produced by

crossing a

female white bass with a male

striped bass. These fish

resemble

striped bass and

white bass, which makes

identifying them difficult,

especially for

young fish. When they become adults, sunshine bass have a deep
body and an arched back similar to the white bass. They can often be
distinguished by broken or irregular stripes on the front half of body
and straight lines on the rear half of body. Sunshine bass are common
in Florida and some other southern states.

Fishing for Sunshine Bass
Some of the same techniques that work for striped bass and white bass
will work for sunshine bass. Sunshine bass can grow to the 6 or 7
pound range in a few years, so you can target these fish with the same
lures that you use for white bass, but you can go a little bigger with
your lure sizes. Like striped bass, sunshine bass feed heavily on shad.
