White Bass
If you're looking to tangle with some White Bass in South Carolina, the waterways near Smoaks offer a unique freshwater experience. The Edisto River, in particular, is a local hotspot. These fish are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for some exciting action. Spring is prime time, as the White Bass migrate upstream to spawn. Focus your efforts around creek mouths and areas with current breaks. Another great time is fall, as they school up before winter. Access to the Edisto can be found at several public boat ramps and landings around Smoaks. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate, so check local conditions before heading out. Also, consider using light to medium spinning tackle with small crankbaits, spinners, or jigs. Local anglers often have success with white or chartreuse colored lures. Remember to check the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) website for current regulations and creel limits.
