White Bass

[RyanLane]

Was thinking about taking the youngster out tonight or in the morning. Anybody been seeing the white bass busting the tops?  Been out there the last few weekends and yet to find any busting the surface.

We got into them today (Sat) big time !  They were South of Hartley on the east side down at the ext small cove. It's been years since I've seen surfacing action like we saw today. Unreal !

White bass are fun when they're feeding on the surface.

Kramr...it's a sight to see when there's 100's of them. Best trick is get up wind and drift through them if you can....they spook too easy.

Some of the most incredible fishing I have ever had was with schools of large white bass when they are attacking anything that moves.  Only thing better was a school of surface busting hybrids on Truman one day.

Well that about sums up my luck. Had some motor issues and wasn't able to get out. Chomper looks like a helluva time. Good work there!!!

I haven't seen any surface action in a long time.  I hope the low water doesn't hurt the fall bite.  I plan to spend the last 2 weeks of October at State Park looking for them.

How does low water usually effect fishing? Seems like with less water there is less places for the fish to hide.

Fall whites aren't hiding.  They are feeding.

Yes they are
