White Bass

If you're looking for some exciting white bass action in Georgia, consider Haralson County. While not as well-known as some of the larger reservoirs, the local rivers and creeks that feed into the Tallapoosa River offer excellent opportunities, especially during the spring spawning runs. These fish migrate upstream, congregating in shallower, moving water. Focus your efforts from late February through April for the best results. A local tip: access to the river can be limited, so research public access points and bridge crossings beforehand. Also, be prepared for rapidly changing water levels after rainfall – this can significantly impact fish location and activity. White bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so be ready for a good fight on light to medium tackle. Small spinners, crankbaits, and jigs are typically effective. Remember to check Georgia's fishing regulations for creel limits and size restrictions before heading out.
