Duck Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Finally a good White bass report. Put in at Holiday Island at 9 ( after a great breakfast at The Back Porch ) and headed up river. Fished places where we could see them on the Humminbird but no takers then at 11 someone turned the switch on. We ended at 2:30 pm (Family stuff) with 34 real nice whites between 11/2 and 21/2 pounds and one 2lb black. Surprised, no dinks. No real numbers in one place, most in 15-25 feet of water.All on A-rig with 3 inch Berkley PowerBait in Shad.Water Temps 52 to 55. Good Fishin, Duck.
kjackson Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Ditto, Duck. That mirrors what we did. Put in at 9 or so, ran up river and found fish. Most of the them came on the Flash Mob Jr. with Yum pearl grubs but a few fell for crankbaits. We ended up with 40 whites, two blacks (one a 16-incher, the other short). We probably had another 20 hits and LDRs. We got off the water at 2. Lovely day and great fishing! Water temp was 50 in the morning despite the frost, and I saw it at 56 at one point.
Bill Babler Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 I went to Bull Shoals, and I was thinking about Butler while I was there. That is probably the most boats I have ever seen on Bull and I bet there is more today. Great report Ya'll and thanks. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Duck Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 Bill, sorry to say but we did not have a bite in Butler which is very strange at this time of the run. Good Luck, Duck.
