Anyone catching any white bass in any of the harbors?


RE: White bass??? - Cowboypirate - 08-07-2023

There have been a couple of reports on here and social media of white bass being caught early in the morning in a couple of the harbors. Nothing red hot but a few for the bait bucket.

People are catching baby white bass off the docks at Provo. The regulars are catching adults too.

Go deep and slow!! No bobber, drag bottom!

As Catchinon said, I have found adults fairly easy to catch the last few weeks. They have been in 3-4 FOW along reedy areas both near Lincoln and near Provo Harbor. I haven't caught the adults in either harbor the last few trips. The young of the year are all over. We got a dozen in 15 minutes at 2 in afternoon on Saturday at the Provo Harbor. We caught a few more in the main lake later in the day.

As Therapist said, we found the adults mostly right on the bottom dragging the offerings fairly slowly. We did get a few of the little tikes unde a bobber but most of them were deep also.

I caught a few off the docks at Provo Saturday afternoon about 2:00. I really needed a smaller jig than I had, maybe something like a ratfinkee or a ratso (#10 or 12) would work well, tipped with a very small nub of worm. I used butter worms, but small diameter red worms or garden worms (smaller than nightcrawlers) would work as well.

I caught a bucket full yesterday in the harbor.  The white bass are very aggressive this year.  They fought more like wipers.
