White Bass

If you're looking for some exciting white bass action in Oklahoma, Hochatown, near Broken Bow Lake, is a great place to start. This lake is known for its healthy white bass population, offering anglers plenty of opportunities, especially during the spring spawning run. Look for them in the creeks and river channels feeding into the lake as they move upstream to spawn. Focus your efforts in the Glover River arm or near the Beavers Bend State Park area. The best time to target white bass here is from late February through April, when they congregate in large numbers. Use shad-imitation lures, small crankbaits, or even live minnows for best results. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity, as white bass prefer clearer water. The Highway 259 bridge area provides good bank access and is a popular spot. Remember to check the lake levels before you go, as heavy rains can impact water clarity and fishing conditions.
