Seasonal Activity Chart
White Bass
White Bass fishing near Charlotte, North Carolina, is a seasonal delight, especially during their spring spawning runs. Focus your efforts on the Catawba River and its tributaries, as well as Lake Norman and Lake Wylie. The key is to follow the forage – threadfin shad are a primary food source. During the spring, White Bass congregate in the upper reaches of the rivers and creeks to spawn. Use small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits that mimic shad. Adjust your depth based on water temperature and current; White Bass tend to hold in deeper pools during the day and move shallower in the evenings. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity; White Bass prefer clear to slightly stained water. Access to the Catawba River is available through numerous public boat ramps and access points. Remember to check the current fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
