White Bass
White bass fishing near Crooks, South Dakota, can be a blast, especially during their spring spawning runs. Look to the local rivers and streams that feed into larger bodies of water; these are prime locations as the white bass migrate upstream to spawn. The exact timing of the run varies depending on weather conditions, but typically occurs in April and May. Once the spawn is over, white bass will often school up in larger lakes and reservoirs nearby, chasing baitfish. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Focus your efforts around points, submerged humps, and areas with current. A local tip is to watch for birds diving, as this often indicates a school of white bass feeding below. While the white bass in this area may not be trophy-sized, they are usually plentiful and offer fast-paced action. Be sure to check the South Dakota fishing regulations for any specific size or creel limits.
