White Bass
While not as commonly targeted as other species, white bass can provide exciting action in Central Florida's lakes, especially during their spawning runs. These fish are known to school up in large numbers, offering fast-paced fishing when you find them. Look for white bass in the spring as they migrate upstream to spawn in rivers and creeks connected to larger lakes like Lake Griffin. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. Focus your efforts near bridges, creek mouths, and areas with current. The key is to locate the schools, often visible on sonar or by observing birds diving on baitfish. Be prepared for a fight, as white bass are known for their aggressive strikes and spirited runs. Remember to check local fishing reports for the latest information on white bass activity.
