I was heading back to Taney this morning and hit something on the road out. Tire was flat in seconds. Took me about an hour to change it. The spare has been under my truck since 2012 and it looked it. 😆. I went back to the condo not sure if the spare was safe. Dumped my boat in here and ran to the back of the cove.
I had been through my regular regular rotation of cranks, jerks, spinner bait, floating worm, jig and senko. Nada. Put on the dreaded Ned and immediately started catching. Caught a few spots, a couple small smallmouth and then hooked something better. Nearly 20” white bass!
There was water coming in the creek and I guess they liked it. Quit counting after 10 or so. Spent almost 2 hours picking them off here and there. Going back and forth to let them rest. Had a great time!
In reference to the title in case you didn’t know. I spent untold hundreds of dollars chasing the mythical white bass run for years. Never did experience it. In fact at Swan one year, we pulled up hopped out and got in line with everyone. Nada. Nobody catching any. Then boom! I caught a nice rainbow. Almost 19”. Nobody could believe it. So every year when people post about the white bass run I call it fake news.😂
