White Bass

White bass fishing near Mulberry, Georgia offers a fun, fast-paced experience, particularly during their spring spawning runs. Lake Lanier is a prime location, as white bass migrate up the rivers and creeks that feed into the lake. Look for them in the Chattahoochee River above the lake or in smaller tributaries like the Chestatee. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as the fish are concentrated and aggressive. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. Focus on areas with current or rocky bottoms. A local tip: watch for birds diving, as they often indicate schools of feeding white bass. Be mindful of water levels, especially in the rivers, as heavy rains can make fishing difficult.
