White Bass
Eagle Lake in Florida is a lesser-known, but productive spot to chase white bass. These schooling fish provide fast-paced action, especially during their spring spawning runs. While not as large as their hybrid cousins, white bass are still a fun target. The key is to locate schools of fish, which often congregate near creek mouths and shallow points during the spring. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are effective lures. Look for surface activity, as white bass will often chase shad to the surface. As the water warms, they'll move deeper, so adjust your presentation accordingly. A local tip: the area near the Highway 540 bridge can be a productive spot. Remember to check the water conditions, as clarity can affect the fish's behavior. The public boat ramp provides convenient access, but be aware of potential weeds and submerged vegetation.
