seriously though...any thoughts?

I have noticed a lot of variation in the colors of bass and also wonder. For spotties I know that a golden hue around the chin = spawning colors for females. High contrast black and white = male spawning colors.

For calicos and sandbass I am just not sure. I have caught them in the bays, in the kelp, and around reef type rocky structure. They also seem to look a little different depending on where they were caught.

Anyone know?
