    It’s funny how a quick text can lead to a hot bite.

    Saturday, while watching the rain wash the winter sand away from my driveway, I sent Pat(gutone4me) a quick text asking just how much fun it was fishing in all that rain. A quick reply from Pat said the bite was good, except for the Walleyes they happened to be chasing. After a flurry of texts, my Dad and I were on our way down to pool 8 to chase some hungry White Bass.

    It didn’t take long, and I had 3 in the boat courtesy of my favorite Excalibur lipless crankbait. Soon after that, my Dad put a few in the boat via the always reliable JimmyD River Bugs.

    Not to be outdone, I rigged up a 3/16oz Precision Jig paired with a Great White 3.25″ Paddletail. After the first cast, it was lights out. In no time, we had a mess of White Bass headed for a hot grease release and a batch headed for the pickle jar.

    Even with the lousy weather, the hot White Bass bite more than made up for it. I hope to get back out there soon.

    Special thanks to Marshall(wimwuen) for putting me & gutone4me on a hot bite.

    Glad you guys could come down for some fun Blue

    Sorry we couldn’t wait and fish with you guys We had to continue our search for walleyes

    Looking forward to some pickled whitebass

    I’m happy they were still there and cooperative. I was a bit worried about sending you on a wild goose chase . And it was a lot nicer out when you guys came down than it was a hour earlier

    PS These whitebass were big and fought like crazy

    No Problem. Let us know if you ever run into pods of pesky oversized Walleyes and we’ll come take care of those. Seriously though, I run into pods of big whites several times per year when not looking for them. I’ll let you know when we see them again as long as you promise not to give me any pickled white bass.
