White Bass
Targeting White Bass near Lake Butler requires understanding the lake's unique ecosystem. Unlike some larger Florida fisheries, Butler's relatively smaller size means forage concentration is key. Focus on areas where creeks enter the lake, especially after rainfall, as this stirs up nutrients and attracts baitfish. Spring is prime time, as the whites move shallow to spawn. Use shad-imitation crankbaits and spinners worked quickly in these areas. A local tip: the north end of the lake, near the SR 121 bridge, is known for holding good numbers of whites. Pay attention to water clarity; if it's murky, switch to brighter colored lures. Remember that water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before you head out.
