Things are about to get right in the world of white bass. You can always count on the week of Valentine's for some white bass to start poking around up river and last week's warm weather kicked that into gear for sure. Water temps have shot up into the upper 50's to as high as 61-62.
If Saturday's fishing is indication, we may be in for a really, really good run. We caught 75+ fish with most being huge males. The size is way above average for early in the run. We usually tend of get a lot of tiny males first, but with the massive amount of bait fish in the lake, every species seems to be at peak weight.
We caught the majority on the Berkley Flicker Shad (size 4) and the rest of my hand tied bucktail's. We stayed with more natural shad colors with the clean water.
The rain this week will probably set things back, but it should be wide open once the mud clears!
