White Bass At The Pothole

[vonreed]

I have not been down there in probably a month, but I heart from a friend today that the white bass are there to be caught by the bucket full. Along with some walleye. I hope this helps someone who wants to catch some.

If you have a small bucket, I only caught 4 today. Lol Did manage to catch limit of suckers at Bull Creek.

Hey, I saw you called this morning, but I forgot my phone at home all day today. Apparantly someone hasn't showed you how to catch them whites, haha. I didn't meantion that walleye were being caught also before it got light in the mornings. Apparantly a limit of em to.

Boat or bank?

Out of a canoe, I'm not sure exactly what spot, other than up in the Pothole somewhere.

Went out Saturday (5-17) up to the dam and caught 18" & 25" walleye, 3 decent whites, and 16" largemouth. All fish were caught on #7 Flicker Shad. First time using the Flicker Shad -- fishes great but the hooks seem cheep and bent fairly easy so lost quite a few fish. All fish were caught on in the current and down towards what I think is a submerged road bed.

Good job, Luke. The Flickers have Mustad Triple Grip trebles. They're made of fairly light wire, but they are considered quality hooks, so you might want to loosen your drag a bit.

Luke there is a road bed on the East side running from the concrete diversion wall to the break in the trees. There are also peninsulas running off of it and there is a gravel bar about 25 yards off of it.
