White Bass
White bass fishing in Lake Mary and the surrounding St. Johns River watershed can be a thrilling experience, especially during their spring spawning runs. These fish are aggressive and readily take lures and bait. Focus your efforts near the river mouths and connecting creeks as the water warms. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Look for areas with current and structure, such as submerged trees or rocks. The best time to target white bass is typically from February through April. A key local tip: watch for bird activity, as flocks of birds often indicate schools of white bass feeding on the surface. Shore access is limited in some areas, so a boat or kayak can be beneficial. Remember to check the local fishing regulations regarding size and bag limits. These fish are known for their schooling behavior, so when you find one, you'll likely find many more.
