White Bass
While not as well-known as other species, white bass can be found in the waterways connecting to the San Francisco Bay near Foster City. These feisty fish offer a fun alternative to largemouth bass, especially during their spawning runs. The best time to target white bass is during the spring, typically from March to May, when they migrate upstream to spawn. Look for them in areas with moving water, such as near bridges or culverts where the current is concentrated. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are effective lures. A key tactic is to locate schools of baitfish, as the white bass will often be nearby feeding aggressively. Access to the waterways is generally good from shore, but a small boat or kayak can provide access to more remote areas. Be aware of tidal influences, as the influx of saltwater can affect the location and activity of the white bass. Keep an eye out for birds diving on baitfish, as this can be a telltale sign of white bass activity below.
