Seasonal Activity Chart

White Bass
Portland, North Dakota, offers access to some exciting white bass action, particularly in the Red River. These schooling fish can provide fast-paced action, especially during their spring spawning run. When the water temperature hits around 60 degrees, typically in late April or early May, white bass congregate in the river to spawn. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Look for them near areas with current, such as below dams or near bridge pilings. A local tactic is to use tandem rigs with two small jigs to increase your chances of catching multiple fish at once. The white bass in the Red River tend to be of good size, with many fish reaching over a pound. These fish are aggressive feeders and can be caught in large numbers when you find a school. Access to the river is relatively easy, with several public access points and parks along its banks. Keep an eye out for surface activity, as this often indicates a school of white bass feeding on baitfish.
