White Bass
White bass fishing can be a fast-paced and exciting experience in the Ohio River near Wellsburg, West Virginia. These schooling fish are known for their aggressive feeding habits and willingness to strike lures. The best time to target white bass is in the spring, when they migrate upstream to spawn. Look for them near dams, riffles, and the mouths of tributaries. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective lures. Casting into schools of feeding white bass can result in multiple hookups in quick succession. Public access is available at several locations along the river in Wellsburg, providing opportunities for both boat and shore fishing. Pay attention to water clarity, as white bass prefer clearer water. A light to medium rod and reel is sufficient for most white bass fishing situations. These fish typically range in size from 1 to 3 pounds, but they make up for their lack of size with their abundance and fighting spirit. Keep an eye out for birds diving on baitfish, as this is often a sign of white bass activity below.
