White Bass
White bass fishing near Ontario, California, presents a unique challenge, as they aren't as common in SoCal as other bass species. Your best bet is to target them in the larger reservoirs that connect to the California Aqueduct system, such as Pyramid Lake or Castaic Lake (both a drive from Ontario). These fish are schooling predators, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. Spring is the best time to target white bass as they move into shallower water to spawn. For success, look for points and areas where the aqueduct enters the lake, bringing in cooler, oxygenated water. Small crankbaits, spinners, and swimbaits are effective lures. A fish finder is crucial for locating schools of white bass. A local tip: White bass are often mixed in with striped bass in these reservoirs, so be prepared for a potential mixed bag. Keep an eye on the surface for schooling activity, as white bass will often chase baitfish to the top.
