navery Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 At what water temps do the white bass start pushing up the Pomme arm? I know they stage near the mouth, but was curious when they started their push up?
shaker Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I wish that I knew the answer but I don't think that there is a definite turn on point. Get several days in a row where the water warms up some or a nice warm rain and some fish will start to run. There seems to always be a couple of early false runs then the weather turns cold again and they disappear. The only thing that I can say for sure is that when the river water temperatures hit 58* there will be some spawning going on. Maybe somebody will have a better answer and we'll all learn more about the white bass run. RB

Terrierman Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Everything is good when the Dogwoods are blooming. For which I am eternally grateful.
shaker Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 For sure when the Dogwoods are blooming the white bass spawn is well under way. Another thing is Easter is kind of early this year April 4th "Early Easter Early spring" for what that's worth! One thing that I would bet on is that the white bass are in the river right now. I was catching some by Thanksgiving in the Sac River down from 82 Highway. I haven't been back since it has gotten cold and the lower river did freeze up this year. They will probably be in some deeper areas where they don't have to fight any or much current and there has to be plenty of shad around too. But just when they would make a major move up is any ones guess. If I were to take a wild guess I would say that about the time of the Spring Equinox there will be a major movement up stream. RB
navery Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 How many hybrids do you guys usually see mixed in? I have caught a few, but not like I do when I fish them in their summer patterns.
shaker Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 About the same as you but when they do show it sure is fun! RB
