White Bass
White Bass in Kotzebue, Alaska? This would be extremely unusual, as their native range is far to the south. While not impossible due to accidental introduction, you're much more likely to find other species. However, if you're determined, focus on the warmer, more turbid sections of the Kobuk River during the peak of summer (July-August). Look for areas where smaller streams or sloughs enter the main river channel, as these might offer slightly warmer water and attract baitfish. Small jigs or spinners that mimic baitfish would be your best bet. Any white bass caught this far north would be a significant anomaly, and reporting the catch to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game would be valuable for monitoring purposes. Access to the Kobuk River near Kotzebue is primarily by boat or floatplane. Be aware of rapidly changing weather conditions and strong currents, especially during spring runoff.
