Post your white bass, yellow bass, stripers, etc trips here. I’ll go first

They’re bitin at Brushy Branch. White rooster tails. Caught about 20 in an hour. It’s just getting started

Good eating fish, we used a Panther Martin to catch White Bass in Santee-Cooper for years. They will hit about any kind of spinner bait when they are hungry. Congrats on your catch.

Hybrid and striper fishing at West Point has been phenomenal for the last couple months when you could get out. December and January are quickly becoming two of my favorite months to fish. We've had numerous trips where we left fish biting.

I'll be poking around the river over the next week. Historically, you'll find pre-spawn whites showing up around Valentine's Day. Looks like the temperature's this week will help support that.

Bad part is they're call'n for the same up here and that all heads Y'all's way or split to the Coosa / Tallapoosa water shed. Gonna be a mess for a week or three.

Went to see if we could find white bass today albeit it’s a little early. Found them scattered around but ended up catching about as many crappie as white bass. Ended up with around 25 total in about 4 hrs. Combination of small rattling crank baits and jigs. Once the rain flushes through should just bet better from here.

Did a little exploratory trip Saturday up the river at West Point. Found a few whites right where they should be this time of year. River is now blown out as of this morning, but the fishing should be very good when it falls.

I wonder if the WB will swim up the Little River from Toona this year like they did until a few years ago

I don’t know much about Toona

Quick update from Brushy. Water is beginning to recover from the rain. River is still pretty muddy. Killed a little time fishing from the bank. Not sure where the bigger fish are but I think they may be still out on the river. Things are still just in the early stages of the run. Hope this helps

I saw @basshappy with his son Beppe today at the brushy branch boat ramp. Looks like they had some fun!!

We had a hoot, Mike. Jonathan is a good fella and the bass were consistent. You been fishing up there to see if white bass are starting to stack up?
