Seasonal Activity Chart
White Bass
While not as widely known as other North Carolina fisheries, Columbia and the Scuppernong River offer a decent white bass run in the early spring. As the water warms, these schooling fish migrate upstream to spawn, providing anglers with exciting opportunities. Trolling small crankbaits or casting jigs and spinners near points and structure is a productive approach. The peak season is typically March and April, but it can vary depending on water temperature. A key access point is the public boat ramp in downtown Columbia. A local tip: Look for birds diving on baitfish, as this often indicates the presence of white bass feeding below. The white bass in the Scuppernong tend to be smaller than those found in larger reservoirs, but their aggressive feeding habits make them a fun target for light tackle enthusiasts.
