I did do shenango yesterday.  brought home about 20 crappies...a few perch and some nice gills.  most caught trolling nano divers.  also lost 1 giant striper at boat and caught at least 50 white bass or hybrids or small stripers.  I cant tell the difference.  my buddy wants to eat them (he eats anything) but we are afraid that we will have a live well full of small stripers and get nailed.  anybody know an easy way to tell the difference between a white perch, white bass, hybrid and stripers?  good day on water!  I know this is wrong forum...sorry.

There really is no easy way to tell the difference of white bass and hybrids under 15".  Usually when they get larger, you can tell their outward appearance a bit more.  More pronounced lines on the wiper, and dark back.  White perch don't have all of the lines.  I think a lateral line only.  
 
There is a tongue patch that is the only true way to tell them apart, but is really small, even in a 25" wiper.  I can't imagine it is very easy to distinguish in 12" fish.

Wife and I fished pyme  yesterday launched at Snodgrass at noon and fished the entire evening.I did my best and tried everything drifted jigs and crawlers, trolled flicker shads and also trolled crawler harness but only could manage a few catfish and a small perch. Was a really nice day out there though a good breeze and not too hot was fun but sure wish the fishing would improve.

Congrats DuUd!  You guys moving up that way or a vacation place?  Can't imagine you will do any better fishing in the fall than you already do.

Marco I don't know if this information will help but, it makes for some interesting reading for the next time nature calls.

Certainly is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the hybrids so, anything under twenty inches is back to the water for me.  I'm sure looking forward to my first legal hybrid.
