Febuary Female White bass

[jay bird]

I talked to a friend that said he catches large sow white bass around the second week of Febuary way up the arm of one of the small creeks/rivers going into Table Rock. Has anybody else heard this and why would it happen? He said it only last for a short time and then they do not come back in until they do the spawn run. I think the area he is talking about is a short distance from the main lake and is not like James or Kings.
