White Bass

If you're looking for some fast-paced white bass action, Kemp, Oklahoma, offers access to some excellent fisheries. Lake Texoma is your best bet, known for its large populations of these schooling fish. The spring spawning run is the prime time, as white bass migrate up the Red River and Washita River arms of the lake. During this time, they can be caught in large numbers using small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits. Look for them near creek mouths and shallow, rocky areas. A local tip is to use a tandem rig with two small jigs to increase your chances of hooking up. Also, watch for bird activity, as flocks of gulls often indicate schools of white bass feeding on the surface. The white bass in Texoma are known for their aggressive strikes and provide exciting action for anglers of all skill levels. Keep in mind that white bass are excellent table fare, but be sure to check the current regulations regarding size and creel limits.
