Lots Of White Bass

[podum]

The white bass are shallow with the cooler weather on windy banks. I fished for 3 hours this morning at Little Platte Park on one of the jetties. No bites except in the small area where the wind was pounding into the jetty. But there, lots of fish. lots. Get out and have fun for the next 2 months.

I fished the jettys again at Little Platte this morning with my Dad for 3 hours this morning. I was a great time, but 25 mph winds made it hard to stand up when it gusted. We caught lots of whites - with great average size on the keeps. 14+ inches only on the ones we brought home. My Dad is getting older and only gets over from St. Louis a few times a year, so this was a fun one. We'll have a good fish fry. The fish were on the windy banks again. Caught them all on small jigheads tipped with 2" tubes in white and chartreuese. Pics to come . . .

Nice report and pics! Glad to see someone on here posting about smithville. I live here and follow alot of the reports for trout parks. Looking forward to the whites going shallow later this fall. They are a blast!

They are already there FFF. Most of our strikes were within 3 yards of the bank.
