For some fast-paced action, consider targeting white bass around Lakeview, Arkansas, in Bull Shoals Lake. These schooling fish provide exciting opportunities, particularly during their spring spawning runs. Whites will congregate near the mouths of creeks and rivers flowing into the lake, as well as along windy points. Look for surface activity – birds diving or fish breaking the surface – to locate schools. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective, and when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Trolling can also be a productive way to cover water and locate schools. The dam area of Bull Shoals is often a hotspot during the spring run. Be aware of boat traffic, especially on weekends, and practice safe boating. White bass fishing is a great way to introduce kids to fishing, as the action is typically fast and furious.
