I made two trips this week for white bass. The first was on Wednesday April the 2 from 5pm till 730 pm. I launched my Old Town 158 and I trolled a jig while heading upriver. I hooked 1 nice white and continued upstream to one of my favorite spots. I arrived there and caught a couple but nothing like I expected though I did catch a 5 lb bowfin on a jig. I then trolled back down and caught another fish in the same spot as before so I anchored . The bite here was on. Most whites caught on a mini-spot but I did catch some on a curly tail jig . I caught aprox 25 whites , 5 crappie, 6 Stripers and 3 perch. The water temp was a nice 61 degrees with the air temp in the 80's.
I saw several Bald Eagles , Herons and some Pileated Woodpeckers.
A few Pics-
Fast forward to Friday April the 4th and I decided to go to this same spot but instead of a PM trip I chose an AM trip. I launched the Old Town 158 at 7 am and went to where I caught them the other day.
Nothing!!!..I headed to another spot and caught a few but it was slow. I then headed back down to the good spot and they were biting. I caught aprox 30 white bass, 3 stripers, 3 crappie and 3 perch along with 1 small largemouth. I good morning on the water. I left at 1130 and had a nice day catching fish and seeing eagles, ducks and a few Hawks.
Here are a few pictures of the fish-
And here are the lures I used today. These lures will catch any white bass.
Starting at 12 and going clockwise - Mini-trap(the most productive lure this week), #2 Blue Fox spinner, Gotcha curlytail grub on 1/16 oz jighead, 5 in Swimmin Fluke on 1/4 oz jighead(this caught the biggest white), Chartreuse Roadrunner, and a Cordell Mini Spot.
Thanks Mack...........
