White Bass
Targeting White Bass near Lake Helen, Florida, requires understanding their migratory patterns within the local freshwater systems. These fish are most active during their spawning runs, typically from late winter to early spring. Focus your efforts in connecting creeks and rivers flowing into and out of the lake, as the fish congregate in these areas. Look for areas with current breaks and structure like submerged timber or rocky outcrops, as White Bass often hold in these spots. A key local tip: the St. Johns River system, easily accessible from Lake Helen, is a prime location. Pay attention to water levels and clarity – lower, clearer water often concentrates the fish. Small crankbaits, spinners, and live minnows are effective presentations. Remember to adjust your retrieve speed to match the current and the fish's activity level.
