White Bass

White bass fishing near Cumming, Georgia, is best on Lake Lanier during their spring spawning run. These feisty fish migrate up the Chestatee and Chattahoochee Rivers, offering exciting opportunities for anglers. Look for them around rocky points, shoals, and creek mouths. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective lures. A key tip is to pay attention to water clarity. If the water is clear, use lighter line and more natural-colored lures. If the water is stained, brighter colors can be more effective. A good access point is the Thompson Bridge Park, which provides access to the Chattahoochee River. Be aware that the white bass run can be unpredictable, depending on water temperature and flow. Check local fishing reports before heading out to get the latest information on where the fish are running.
