White Bass

If you're looking for some exciting white bass action, Elkton, Tennessee, offers some great opportunities. The Elk River, which flows nearby, is a prime location for targeting these feisty fish, especially during their spring spawning runs. They migrate upstream, congregating in the shallower, faster-moving sections of the river. This migration typically peaks in March and April, but good fishing can extend into early May. Look for them around rocky shoals, creek mouths, and any structure that breaks the current. A local tip: access to the Elk River is available at several points along Highway 31, but be mindful of private property. Small spinners, crankbaits, and inline spinners are effective lures. The Elk River white bass population is known for its aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a good fight!
