Sunshine Bass
White bass are found
in the Apalachicola River, Ochlockonee River and Lake
Talquin. In the same family as stripers, white bass
seldom exceed four pounds, with one-to-two pound fish
more common. The best white bass fishing occurs in the
spring, when fish move up river to spawn.
Small crayfish or grass shrimp on #4 hooks fished in
deep river bends or at the edge of sand bars are
effective baits. Put a 1/4 oz. egg sinker above your
swivel, with an 8- to 12-inch leader tied to your hook;
use lighter line for the leader, so if you get snagged
you don't have to replace the complete rig. Small jigs
in white or brown are often productive.
