White Bass
White bass fishing near Cresbard can be a real blast, especially during their spring spawning runs. While Cresbard itself may lack large rivers, nearby lakes and streams that feed into the larger Missouri River system hold good populations of white bass. The key is to locate areas where these fish congregate to spawn, typically in shallow, moving water near inlets or below dams. Spring is prime time, usually from late April through May, when the water temperature reaches the mid-50s. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. A local’s secret: pay attention to bird activity. Diving birds often indicate schools of white bass feeding on baitfish near the surface. White bass are known for their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior, making for fast-paced and exciting fishing. These fish are excellent table fare, but be mindful of local limits and consider practicing selective harvesting to ensure healthy populations for years to come.
