bass fishing tips

Gotta love that spring run.

People are always searching for the best bass fishing techniques and this is no different when you're going after White Bass.

If you're looking for some great fishing to do around the beginning of Spring, fishing for White Bass is one of the best, especially if you are looking to take the kiddos out.

During the spring time your chances of having a great fishing day are really good when going after these feisty fish with the correct white bass fishing techniques.

The key is to find that school of white bass that will usually be feeding on bait fish that they have pushed to the surface. They don't usually stick to cover but rather travel in packs. So when you start to get those bites, it would be wise to get your line back in the water.

The video talks about Kansas fishing but it really applies to any area

One important thing to be aware of is that the White Bass are easily spooked. So you don't want to be tossing your line right into the spot you believe that school of fish is. Rather you want to cast beyond and then use a slow to medium retrieval when reeling in, at the point you are entering the school. As soon as you feel you are about to be past the school of sandies, go to a fast retrieval.

Using the correct techniques, most get the White Bass to strike right before the line is completely reeled in. I know that is when I hook most of mine, just as I am going fast and thinking I got to try again, bam, I get that hit and pull him in.

Our favorite spot.

We do most of our Sand Bass fishing off the Clear Fork of the Trinity River on the outskirts of the west side of Fort Worth. From one side of the bank I cast to the other side and then slowly reel in using my jighead setup. I'll try in a spot for a few using different lures then move on until I get my bite which usually means more to be found in that area.

If I am using minnows, then I'll toss the line just beyond the midpoint of the river and let it set for 10 minutes or so before trying another spot until I find that sweet spot. And man when you find it, boy is it sweet.

With regards to fish identification, the White Bass has the potential to be confused with the Striped Bass. It sports the same type horizontal lines running along its sides. But there are some characteristics that separate this bass from its distant cousin.

The white bass, a.k.a., sand bass, has a small head and almost appears to have sort of a hunch back. It is a tall but slender fish.

You will notice the yellow eyes of this bass along with one or two patches of teeth at the back of the tongue.

The color of this bass is mostly silver with dark green along its back.

The white bass averages between a 1/2 pound and 2 pounds but can reach up to 4 pounds. They average 10 to 12 inches long but can get to over 17 inches long.

This video contains some good pics of white bass. You just need to get past the long intro.

They rarely live beyond 4 years old but they can live up to 10 years. It is believed that females grow faster and live longer than males.

This is a great fish to go after during the spring time run. The kids will love the experience so get them, and yourself, familiar with what the Sand Bass looks like.

What are some good white bass lures so i can catch a lot of white bass?

Hey Corbin,

I myself have had a ton of success with a simple grub attached to a 1/8 - 1/16 jig head.

This has yielded me the most white bass. White being the color for the grub and either red, chartreuse or white for the jig head.

Roadrunners have also been very good to me when going after white bass.

After that live minnows are the ticket if you just want to throw your line in and relax a bit while you wait for that bite. Small to medium in size.

Hope that helps a bit. Check the White bass page for more info.

Have a great one and good luck.

P.S. Come back and let us know how you do or if you find something better that works for you.
