Rock Bass are scrappy little fish. They are named appropriately as they really do prefer to live in and around rock piles. I've noticed they become very active in the evening time. I've caught a lot of them on the rock dams at Merrill Creek Reservoir. On the Delaware, they will sometimes "swarm" a spot and keep you from being able to catch anything else at that spot.
I've taken some home and eaten them. They're not bad. The meat is mild with a slight 'earthy' flavor. The problem is there just isn't much meat on a given fish.
