White Bass

For a thrilling, fast-paced fishing experience, target white bass in the waters around Mountain Home, Arkansas. These schooling fish can provide some exciting action, particularly during their spring spawning runs. The White River and its reservoirs, like Bull Shoals Lake, are excellent places to find them. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, when they migrate upstream to spawn. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are effective lures. A local tip: look for birds diving or schools of shad flickering on the surface – these are often indicators of white bass feeding below. When you find them, the action can be non-stop! Be prepared for some competition from other anglers, especially during the peak of the run, and always practice good boating etiquette.
