White Bass
If you're looking for a thrilling white bass run, Columbus, Mississippi, on the Tombigbee River is a great destination. These fish make their spawning runs in the early spring, usually starting in late February and peaking in March or April. The 'shoalies,' as they're often called, congregate below dams and in areas with swift currents and rocky bottoms. A local's secret? Focus on the tailwaters of the Columbus Lock and Dam; this area concentrates the fish. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. White bass fishing here is known for its fast action, with multiple hookups common. The fish average a pound or two, but larger specimens are always a possibility. Keep an eye on water levels, as high or muddy water can affect the bite. Public access is readily available along the river, making it easy to get in on the action.
