White Bass
White bass offer a fun and accessible fishing opportunity on Lake Hamilton. While not as large as their hybrid cousins, they are still exciting to catch, especially when they school up. These fish are known for their aggressive feeding habits and can be found throughout the lake, particularly in areas with current or near structures like bridges and docks. Spring is the prime time for white bass fishing, as they migrate upstream to spawn. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective lures. Look for surface activity, such as birds diving, as this often indicates the presence of feeding white bass. A local's secret: try fishing around the Highway 27 bridge, as the pilings often hold white bass. Remember to use light tackle for the best experience, and be prepared for a fast and furious bite when you find a school.
