White Bass
While not as common as other species, white bass can be found in the freshwater influenced areas near Hayward, particularly in the sloughs and channels connected to the San Francisco Bay. Look for them where freshwater meets the bay's brackish water. These fish are schooling fish, so if you find one, you'll likely find more. Spring and early summer are ideal, as they migrate upstream to spawn. Focus on areas with current or structure, like bridge pilings or submerged trees. A practical tip: Use sonar to locate schools of baitfish, as white bass are often found nearby. Small, flashy lures like spinners and spoons are effective. Be mindful of the tides; incoming tides can push baitfish and white bass further upstream. The white bass in this area tend to be smaller than those found in larger reservoirs, but their aggressive feeding behavior makes them a fun target.
