White Bass

[Scott Keling]

Has anyone heard any white bass stories on upper B.S. lately? I read a few on the T.R. Site.

Read the latest post on the Powersite Tailwater thread, they caught a bunch on the river run side Thursday evening and friday morning while they were generating.

Yeah that post was from 2009, someone just fired it back up by asking a question.

Thanks Flatbottom. I dove right into reading that article & didn't realize the date the thread got started. My dad is headed to upper B.S. Tuesday & will be fishing for whites for about a week. Hope he can get into some.

No problem Scott, I know a lot of people base their plans on some of these posts and reports. Hope your Dad finds them!

I don't think they're up there yet but they could be at any time. I'd look further down lake- Barker down to Johnson, then Beaver down to K Dock. They're going to be hard to find. Bet they'll be on the bottom in the channel unless it gets windy, warming the water on the surface. Then I'd look on wind blown banks/flats.

Barker down to the Johnson area is where we have our best luck & it's where I usually start. I'll be headed down there myself on the 22nd for about a week. I've got white bass fever & the water is still hard here in northern Mo.

Oops, i missed that little detail, the description of the lake level was similar to what it is now

With the warming trend this week it'll get fired up - I'm going down there in a minute and will check back during the week at night at least a few times. It's time.
