I do guide for white bass. I use the same techquine as walleyes but down size. May will be a great mouth. The white bass spawn different areas every year. But I always seem to find them. You can find white bass here and there, but when I’m on them, before your jig gets to the bottom they have it in there mouth. DataBoy, I’ll give you a great deal. After I take you, you can take your dad. 
hey jeff, do you ever eat white bass? i have heard good and bad things about there taste. i love catching them but i have never ate them. i guess they taste alright if you cut out there mud line, correct? they do fight like hell though!
What’s a mud line? Don’t they taste and fillet alot like a crappie? At least they fight a little more than a crappie fluttering toward the boat. I know they do die fast once you get them out of the water so you need to clean them soon after catching them, especially when it’s warm.
Hey Jeff, sounds like a deal. The hard part is getting my dad out fishing, he’s all talk and no go. One of those very fair weather fisherman. My father-in-law would probably be more interested. Maybe if you throw in a some river crappie tactics we can give it a go. I’m usually fishing the Madison chain by May but fishing my home town river sounds like fun too. I’ve spent many childhood years fishing that river and only got an occasional white bass or carp and one tiny northern, lost tons of lures though.
Hi guys, I think I need to set up a fish fry for all the regulars on this thread. I love white bass, all I do is bleed them just like the walleyes I clean. Its a techquine that I learn from a friend and he learn it from a Lake Erie guide.
Fish fry, I like fish! I guess we never heard of bleeding ’em, I usually try to keep them alive until I can clean ’em or throw ’em on ice. That’s why we take beer, hopefully the way it goes is one beer out – one fish in.
All the guys I know that fish em on the Wolf say you must throw em in ice immediately and their only good in spring when their flesh is still firm. I guess they get mushy later in the year. Not sure, I always C & R whites.
WELL….Are the white bass runnin’ yet??? If anybody knows, please let us know. 
Does 
the lack of activity on here mean that the fishin’ has picked up.
It’s time anglers, everyone are catching white bass. Small males and they are milking. Downtown Fort seem to be the place. 1/8 jig with a green twister and jigging small fatheads was the ticket today. My nine year old son and I had a great day on the water.
