White Bass

White Bass fishing around Carlisle, Arkansas, can be quite productive, especially during their spring spawning runs. These fish migrate up rivers and creeks connected to larger bodies of water, offering exciting opportunities for anglers. The Cache River and its tributaries are your best bet. The key is timing: The run usually peaks in late March or early April, depending on water temperatures and flow. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. A local tip is to focus on areas with current breaks or submerged structure, as White Bass tend to congregate in these spots. Bank access is available at several bridge crossings along the Cache River, or you can launch a small boat or kayak at designated access points. White Bass here are known for their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior, so once you find one, you're likely to find more.
