[cool][#0000ff]That was last week's news. The white bass bite has crashed the last few days. The monsoon pattern winds and thunder have unsettled them and they have moved back out to deeper water...at least temporarily.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]TubeBabe and I are gonna give it a try Friday morning and will post a report.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, for anybody who wants to try it themselves, there are several potential good areas around Lincoln Beach. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]1. Along the outside points of the dikes along the boat channel.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]2. In the little shallow bay to the south of the boat channel...right next to the reeds. Some good cats on bobbers in there too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]3. All along the shallow edges of the reed shoreline to the south and east.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]4. The mouth of Benjamin Slough.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]5. All along the rocks and reeds around the point to the north and on toward Goshen. If you are in a boat, be careful of the shallow rock ledges. It is high water now, with fewer hazards, but there are some "hidden treasures".[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Fish almost any kind of small jigs...plastic or feathers. Tip them with a bit of worm or fish meat. Small spinners in both gold and silver work well too. If you have a spinner with chartreuse or fire tiger those hot colors work well in stained water.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]When the whities are in, they will be in shallow water...sometimes in only a couple of feet of water. But, 3 to 4 feet is a good place to start. Once you find a school it will be ON.[/#0000ff]
