Finally I got my Dad out fishing with me by telling him about the white bass hitting. They were hitting great from shore. We got all but two on Mepps spinners on rocky shore near Stillwater. In less than 1 hour we had plenty for a couple dinners for him and his wife. For a while every cast came back with a fish between 1 and 2 pounds. 
Lots of fun to catch. 
Dinners???
EeeeGads u eat them things?
They’re actually VERY good if you know how to properly clean them.
U R right. They are good eatin and much fun to catch! 
I might just have to head up to Stillwater next time I’m out.
The oldtimers that have been coming for 25yrs up to Everts in late April do this;
Bring a cooler filled with ice.
When a W Bass is caught the cut through the “throat” just below the juncture of the gills and stick the fish head down in the ice to “bleed” them out.
When back onshore fillet them as you would a Crappie etc…
Battered up and deep fried they are very good! 
they are decent eatin’…..just had some a couple of days ago actually…..anything tastes good if its deep fried and shore lunched.
I talked to my Dad a little while ago and he said they were great and he can’t wait to go get more before the water warms up too much.
