White Bass

[Pour Dennis]

Went out yesterday with my neighbor at 3:00 to see what we could find. We just stayed in eye sight of the Shell Knob bridge. For the first we tried to catch some LM but no luck. Then we started chasing the boils around the deeper docks and started catching white bass from 2-4 lbs. I was just throwing a chartreuse and white 1/4 oz spinner bait. When we decided to quit we had caught 4 nice one weighing probabaly 12-15 lbs.

Site newbie here - I appreciate all you guys. Put my kayak in at McCord's on James Tuesday, paddled up to Blunks. First three casts had a smallmouth, and a couple of decent-sized whites. Picked up a few small males, then it cut loose for me about noon - big 2-3 pound females in shallow. Cleaned 10 - put some back. All on white swimming minnows and white in-line spinners - bigger fish on rooster tails. Saw wome guys doing well on purple seimming minnows as well. See me out there in a green 14' kayak, give me a wave.

My son and I went to Blunks yesterday evening a couple hours before dark. We hoped to catch a few after dark. Only caught three males about 13 inches apiece on swimmin minnows after dark just upstream from blunks. didn't see many catching anything but heard one guy say he had caught 22 before dark. By the way, if you are in the area at night you need running lights or at the very least a signal light. We saw several people after dark running the river with no running lights, flashlight or anything. We were almost hit by a couple guys we had to holler at, luckily the were not wide open just idling and not paying attention. Missed us by an arms length!!

Hunter, you gots to understand those Stone Co. red necks. They feel that they have the right to go anywhere at any time and do anything they want to do. They have all the deer trained to stay away from the roads at night.
