White bass are done for ice season unless we get significant weather changes. I wouldn't bother with even thinking about icing them harbors for quite some time. It never really happened this year. Weather just too stagnant.

Hey Hath, No nothing worked today, One guy caught 1 white bass. A Family of 6 Caught one white Bass between them, and everyone else came and went with nothing.

There was a 2 day window where guys were filling multipul 5 gallon buckets. Glad I got in on it while it lasted. There is still some White Bass chowder in my fridge.

I fished that two day window but it was still slow compared to last year. A couple buckets of white bass is really not the fastest action. About 50 whites of this year's size will fit into a bucket at most if over brim full. Last year a bucket could be filled in 15 or 20 min. It was a fish every drop, no jigging needed and the action never slowed throughout the day. There's a HUUUGE population this year, probably waaay more than even last year, saw it in summer. They are just not moving into harbors. Where I iced fished after fish last year, I've iced none this year. White bass are very random in their movements. I have always found that to be the case. Millions of fish in an area one day, not a one the next in the same area. There is one frequent rule of thumb. Once someone reports a hot bite yesterday, chances are the next day there won't be none and the fish are miles away. Last winter was the wonderful exception where they stayed a few days in a stretch.
