Headed back up to the mountains this week end for some bass fishing. Caught a mess of white bass on a small crankbait last weekend. Just wondering what y'alls go to bait is for white bass because I had a lot of short strikes on the crankbait as well.

I've caught most on a 1/8th oz. white marabou jig but i usually fish for them below the dams.

1/8 leadhead jigs with a pearl or black spotted white curly tail, and the Maribou jigs that rhbama3 makes.

Yup, white curly tail on a pink, white or charteuse jig head. Or you can tip the jig with a minnow too.

Roadrunner with a curly tail grub. I also hear rooster tails, shad raps and smaller lipless crankbaits work. For top water, a heddon Zara puppy (mini spook) or rebel jumpin minnow is good.

Or yellow or a variation of. Troll them behind the boat is what we always did and loaded up.

I always threw a double crappie jig rig.

Tie the first one with a Palomar knot and leave an extra long tag end and tie the 2nd one off the tag end. Or tie the 2nd off bend of first jig like in flyfishing.

Super deadly. We catch them a lot 2 at a time.

In rivers, i like to throw crank baits. when they are hitting top water, i like a roster tail. When they are schooled up in deeper water, I use a small spoon.

From my experience, when white bass are there and feeding, they will eat anything they can get there mouth on. All you have to do is get the bait to the proper depth that they are at.
