White Bass
For fast-paced action, consider targeting white bass near Alpena. Lake Thompson is a prime location. These schooling fish can provide exciting fishing, particularly during their spring spawning run. Look for them near points, inlets, and windblown shorelines. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. When you find one, you'll likely find many, as they tend to congregate in large schools. Keep an eye out for birds diving, a telltale sign of white bass feeding on the surface. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. Be prepared to move around to locate active schools. Lake Thompson can be accessed from several public boat ramps, but be aware of potential wind and wave conditions. The white bass fishery in Lake Thompson is relatively consistent, providing a reliable option for anglers seeking readily available action.
