White Bass
Gordonsville, Tennessee offers some exciting white bass fishing, especially in the spring when they make their spawning runs. Center Hill Lake is the main attraction, and the white bass congregate in the lake's tributaries as the water warms. The Caney Fork River arm is particularly productive. The key is to intercept them as they move upstream. Look for areas with current and rocky bottoms. Small crankbaits, inline spinners, and white or chartreuse curly-tail grubs are all effective. A local tactic is to fish near the Highway 56 bridge on the Caney Fork; this area often holds large schools of white bass during the spawn. Also, pay attention to water levels; a slight rise in the river can trigger a fresh run of fish. The white bass in Center Hill Lake are known for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights, so be prepared for some fast-paced action.
