White Bass

For fast-paced action, head to Camden, Tennessee, and target white bass on Kentucky Lake. These schooling fish offer exciting angling opportunities, particularly during their spring spawning runs up the creeks and rivers that feed the lake. Look for them near current breaks, points, and submerged structure. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective lures. A local tip: white bass often congregate near the discharge areas of power plants, where the water is warmer. Also, be prepared to move around, as white bass can be here today and gone tomorrow. Several boat ramps provide easy access to the lake and its tributaries. The white bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior, making for a memorable fishing experience.
