White Bass

Sulphur Rock, Arkansas, offers some exciting white bass action, primarily on the White River. These feisty fish are known for their schooling behavior, making for fast-paced fishing when you find them. Spring is the prime time to target white bass, as they migrate upstream to spawn. Look for them near gravel bars and current breaks. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. A great access point is the Sulphur Rock Access, providing both bank fishing and a boat ramp for exploring the river. Keep an eye out for surface activity, as white bass will often chase shad near the surface. Local tip: a fish finder can be invaluable for locating schools of white bass, especially in deeper water. The white bass in this section of the White River are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a good fight!
