Out With The Walleye,,,in With The White Bass

[Capt.Bob]

Well for the past week the fishing on the Maumee has been dying down for the Walleye fisherman and turning on for those waiting on the White Bass. I am spending the next couple days getting the new little boat ready for the season, a jerked over 12R Sea Nymph. I think the lakes in Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan should be turning on now too. I had a great Walleye season and the freezer is full, now it's time for some less strenuous fishing, the White Bass are a ball on the river as the river is down to normal height and 50 to 100 a day can be caught, light tackle makes it a ball. Plus the river should have some fine Smallie action going on now. The makeover on the boat will come in handy on these small waters, as the season revs up with Small Mouth breaking the monotony of so many White Bass being caught. I usually don't keep them but have been told they are great smoked, so, I am going to save several bigger ones and give it a try?????? time will tell.

They're spawning all over the dams at our lakes. We caught a ton of them on topwater yesterday. I stopped setting the hook on them and just laughing and watching how many times they'd hit the bait and watching the schools of them chasing the bait all the way to the boat.
