White Bass
Targeting White Bass near Cornelius, North Carolina, means understanding Lake Norman's unique structure. This lake, a reservoir on the Catawba River, provides excellent habitat, particularly around submerged humps, points, and creek channels. Spring is prime time as the whites migrate upstream to spawn, concentrating them in the upper reaches of the lake and its tributaries. Watch for surface activity indicating schooling fish chasing shad. Small crankbaits, spinners, and white or chartreuse jigs are effective. A key local tip: the Highway 150 bridge area is a known hotspot during the spawn. Also, pay attention to water clarity; whites prefer clearer water, so focus your efforts accordingly. Remember that the white bass population can fluctuate based on spawning success, so check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information.
