White Bass

If you're after some fast-paced white bass action, consider a trip to Houston, Arkansas. While the town itself is small, it provides access to several lakes and rivers where white bass congregate, especially during their spring spawning runs. The best time to target them is in early spring as they migrate upstream to spawn. Look for them in rivers and creeks that feed into larger lakes. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Focus on areas with current or structure. A key tip is to pay attention to water levels and clarity; high, muddy water can make fishing difficult. Local anglers often have success near bridge pilings and rocky points. Remember to check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission regulations for creel limits and any specific restrictions on the waters you plan to fish.
