White Bass
White bass fishing around Lake City can be a blast, especially during their spring spawning runs. These fish are known for their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior, making for some fast-paced action. Focus your efforts on the rivers and creeks that feed into the larger lakes in the area. The Santa Fe River and its tributaries can be particularly productive. Early spring, when the water temperatures start to rise, is prime time. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. A key tip is to look for areas with current breaks or eddies, as white bass often congregate in these spots. Be sure to check water levels before your trip, as access to some areas may be affected by flooding.
