White Bass
If you're looking for some exciting white bass action, Bergman, Arkansas, should be on your radar. Bull Shoals Lake, just a short drive away, is renowned for its thriving white bass population. These fish school up in massive numbers, especially during their spring spawning run, making for some fast and furious fishing. Focus your efforts in the creeks and river arms of Bull Shoals from March to May as the water warms. A classic tactic is to use small crankbaits or spinners and cast into schooling fish. You can also try trolling these lures in areas where the whites are concentrated. Another productive time is the fall, as whites chase shad. For shore access, try the Hwy 14 bridge area, but be prepared for some company as it's a popular spot. Remember to check lake level conditions before you go, as water levels can impact fish location and accessibility.
