Seasonal Activity Chart
White Bass
White bass fishing near Rutledge, Georgia, centers around the tributaries and main body of Lake Oconee. These feisty fish make their spawning runs up the rivers and creeks in early spring, usually February through April, offering fast-paced action. Look for them around points, submerged timber, and near the dam. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are effective lure choices. A local trick is to use a tandem rig with two small jigs to increase your chances of a double hookup. Lake Oconee's white bass are known for their aggressive strikes, so be ready for a good fight. Be mindful of the lake's water levels, as they can fluctuate, impacting access and fish location. Checking the Georgia DNR website for current lake conditions before your trip is always a good idea.
