White Bass
White bass are an exciting target in the waters around Hitchcock, South Dakota, known for their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to chase them, as they migrate upstream to spawn. Focus your efforts on rivers and creeks that feed into the larger lakes and reservoirs. Look for areas with current breaks, such as points, islands, and bridge pilings. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective lures. When you find one white bass, you're likely to find many, so pay attention to where the fish are holding. A local tip: early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. These fish are known for their schooling behavior, so chumming with minnows can draw the schools to your boat. Be aware that white bass populations can fluctuate depending on environmental conditions, so check local fishing reports for the latest information.
