Fishing For Sea Bass
In North America, fishing for bass is a favorite activity among anglers. However, it is important to note that Bass is a name that many different species of popular game fish share. These are the most well known basses:
- Temperate basses and black basses (although these are colloquial terms)
- Striped bass and white bass which are temperate basses
- Largemouth, smallmouth and spotted basses are NOT sea basses. They are a freshwater sunfish, with the largemouth bass also known as a black bass. Hence the confusion.
Although sea bass is highly popular, some other species can be mistaken for sea bass. Note that black sea bass has a basic color of dark brown or black. The dorsal fin has stripes of white on black.

Famous quotes containing the words fishing, sea and/or bass:
“The hill farmer ... always seems to make out somehow with his corn patch, his few vegetables, his rifle, and fishing rod. This self-contained economy creates in the hillman a comparative disinterest in the world’s affairs, along with a disdain of lowland ways. “I don’t go to question the good Lord in his wisdom,” runs the phrasing attributed to a typical mountaineer, “but I jest cain’t see why He put valleys in between the hills.””

“The atoms of Democritus
And Newton’s particles of light
Are sands upon the Red Sea shore,
Where Israel’s tents do shine so bright.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“How are we to know that a Dracula is a key-pounding pianist who lifts his hands up to his face, or that a bass fiddle is the doghouse, or that shmaltz musicians are four-button suit guys and long underwear boys?”
