Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Anyone eat white bass/sand bass?

I live 25 miles from Lake Winnebago in southern Wis . The lake has a lot of them. I find them a lot more fun to catch. They eat just fine. The wife used to bring home Tilapia form the store for 8 bucks a pound. She told me to bring home some whitebass to fry , so I did. I have always kept whitebass. Three or four make a pound and are far superior to frozen Talapia in the store. They fry up just as good tasting as walleye and sometimes people will comment they like them better than walleye. have no preference cause I love fish. I used to smoke the whitebass cause they had a lot of oil. They are good that way too but not as good as channel cats.
