Seasonal Activity Chart
White Bass
White bass fishing near Leesburg can be a blast, especially during their spawning runs. While not as heavily targeted as largemouth or bluegill, these feisty fish offer excellent action. The spring months are when white bass congregate in rivers and creeks to spawn. Focus your efforts in areas where these tributaries enter the Harris Chain of Lakes. Small jigs, spinners, or crankbaits retrieved quickly are effective lures. Look for areas with current breaks or submerged structure. The canals connecting the lakes can also be productive during this time. Keep an eye out for schooling activity, as white bass often chase baitfish near the surface. Light tackle is recommended for maximum enjoyment. Access to the rivers and creeks can sometimes be limited, so consider using a kayak or small boat to explore these areas.
