Please advice on white bass fishing

[pxsen]

Hi everyone, 

I am new to this area and studying  at the University of Arkansas. Have been hearing from a  lot of people at the UofA that this the best time to catch white bass. Can any of you guys please let me know where I can fish for white bass and what types of lures would be good? I don't have a boat or anything like that so, I will be fishing from the bank.

Go by Southtown sporting goods. They'll set you up. White rooster tails, rapalas, small jigs and swim baits will all catch them. 

Send me an email at Kyle.Unser@KutakRock.com and I will send you some Google Earth shots of where you can go.

When they leave the river go to the RT 12 bridge just past Prairie creek Marina, they will run up on that flat until about the middle of May after dark.

Some additional advice: go to twin on the weekdays.  It gets crazy on the weekends.  Skip some classes and hit the river.  Someday you will be a working stiff like most of us- reading some Internet forum while you are locked in your office during the white bass run.  I can promise you this- when that day comes you won't regret that you missed a couple of history lectures!

Thanks bferg! Has the run started yet there? I sure can miss a couple of days of history classes for the fun!

Sort of, it is like an unofficial beach, hard gravel a small entrance but sometime people launch small boats there.
