White Bass

If you're chasing white bass in the Munford, Tennessee area, you'll want to focus your efforts on the tributaries of the Mississippi River and nearby lakes. While not directly on a major waterway, Munford provides a good base for exploring the region’s white bass runs. Spring is prime time, specifically from late February through April, as the white bass migrate upstream to spawn. Look for them congregating below dams and in areas with current breaks. A local tip: the Hatchie River, a short drive east, can offer excellent white bass fishing during the spring spawning run. Access is available at several bridge crossings. Additionally, smaller jigs and spinners are effective, but pay attention to water clarity. If the water is stained, switch to brighter colors. The white bass in this area tend to be schooling fish, so if you find one, you'll likely find more.
