White Bass

For white bass enthusiasts near Peachtree Corners, Georgia, the Chattahoochee River offers some exciting opportunities. These schooling fish make their spawning runs upstream in the early spring, typically February through April, providing fast-paced action. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as below shoals or near bridge pilings. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. A local tip is to look for birds actively feeding on the surface, as this often indicates a school of white bass feeding below. The Morgan Falls Dam tailrace can be particularly productive during the spawn. Be mindful of water releases from the dam, as they can impact fishing conditions and safety. White bass in this area tend to be of good size, offering a fun fight on light tackle.
