White Bass
If you're looking for some fast-paced white bass action in a truly scenic setting, Lake Santeetlah in North Carolina should be on your radar. This deep, clear mountain lake offers excellent white bass fishing, particularly during their spring spawning runs. Look for them congregating near the mouths of feeder creeks and along rocky shorelines as the water warms. April and May are prime time. A local tip: many anglers have success trolling small crankbaits or casting inline spinners in these areas. The white bass in Santeetlah aren't giants, averaging 1-2 pounds, but they are plentiful and aggressive. Be aware that Santeetlah is a relatively remote lake, so cell service can be spotty. The Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest borders much of the lake, providing stunning scenery but also limiting shoreline access in some areas. The public boat ramp on the north side of the lake is your best bet for launching.
