White Bass

White bass fishing near Haworth, Oklahoma, can be quite productive during their spring spawning runs. The creeks and rivers that feed into the Red River see an influx of these feisty fish as they migrate upstream to spawn. Look for them around rocky shoals, creek mouths, and any areas with moving water. Early spring, as the water starts to warm, is the peak season. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. A good strategy is to start at the mouth of a creek and work your way upstream, casting to likely holding spots. Be prepared for some fast action, as white bass often school together. Remember to check the local regulations regarding limits and size restrictions. Access to some of the better spots may require wading, so wear appropriate footwear.
