White Bass
For some fast-paced white bass action near Woonsocket, South Dakota, focus your attention on Lake Thompson. This large, shallow lake is known for its abundant white bass population. Spring is prime time, as the white bass migrate upstream to spawn in the lake's tributaries. Trolling small crankbaits or casting jigs and spinners near points and submerged structure can be highly effective. Look for birds diving, as they often indicate schools of feeding white bass. A local tip: the white bass bite can be very dependent on wind conditions; a moderate chop on the water often triggers feeding activity. Be aware that Lake Thompson can get quite windy, so check the forecast before heading out. White bass in Lake Thompson are typically aggressive and readily take a variety of lures, making for an exciting and accessible fishing experience.
