White Bass

White bass, also known as sand bass, offer exciting action in the waterways around Marietta, Mississippi. The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway is your best bet for finding these schooling fish. They tend to congregate near current breaks, points, and submerged structure. Spring is the peak season, as the white bass migrate upstream to spawn. Look for them near dams and in the tailwaters below them. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Trolling can also be productive when trying to locate schools of fish. A local hotspot is near the Aberdeen Lock and Dam. Keep an eye on your electronics, as white bass often school tightly and can be easily located with a fish finder. They are aggressive feeders, so be prepared for some fast-paced action when you find them. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
