White bass fishing

web0433 · 04-29-06, 10:44 PM

I was thinking about going white bass fishing in Fremont Ohio tomorrow. What type of hook should i use, and also minnow or worm, or even a lure? Should i use bobber or sinker? Any insight would help me. Thanks

Those can be a lot of fun. Try shad baits-Rat-L-Traps, Silver Spoons, Tailspinners, shad swimbaits, etc. Once you find them you can really load the boat.

I've only fished for them with minnows. True, once I found one, I found a hundred.

i fished for white bass last year in a tourney and all i used was a white spinnerbait, i caught white bass like crazy, but really once you locate them you can catch them on almost anything

o sry, it doesnt really matter on the size of hook, or it doesnt for me when I fish for them, and no you do not have to use a bobber, but i recomend that you do

I fish the freemont for walleye and also get the occasional white bass, try a white mister twister tail , 2 inch..depending on the current, you may have to adjust the size of the leadhead, 1/8th or 1/4 ounce..also note what others are using, they may be on a orange or chartruse pattern..
As rocky as the freemont is and shallow, I 'd stick to the grub, and take lots of leadheads..
We fish right there in town where the river dead ends, by the over head train tracks, is a good hole...make sure you have a ohio license. Tons of game wardens that way..good luck!...As over cast as it is today you should have some luck, however the big walleye run is probably widing down.

The white bass have been pretty active on the lake I've fishedthe past couple of weeks. I've been catching most on a Rick Clunn Luckycraft .5 crankbait, in Blue Bream or Purple Shad. Cast it to rocky-sandy shorelines in 2 - 4" of water and just crank it back in.

Bass Pro has the Rick Clunns on sale right now, but they are still 10$+ online. My local Bass Pro store had a barrel full of them marked down to $5.49, so I loaded up. They went fast!

A trick I've heard of, and sometimes use when the two pound class largemouth school, is to take a popper and tie about a foot and a half of mono to the rear treble, and put a small jighead ( without a skirt) on it. Then, the popper makes a commotion, and the jig catches them too. You can even dress the jig with a minnow, but there's really no need.
