[#0000FF]White bass are like teenage humans. The eager boys all show up at the party first. The girls usually hang out some place else until they are ready to "dance".
Today I was catching almost all males along the rocks...where the spawning will likely take place. But when I moved to some shallower water...near midge laden mud bottom...I got into some females...and still a few males.
The surface risers could be either bluegills or small crappies. Might be some white bass but the first guess is probably closer.
After about the end of July...when the baby white bass are just over 2" long...the surface of some harbors will look like a rainstorm. The little whities come up at daybreak to munch all of the midges and other bugs that have fallen into the water at night. A good time to catch a bunch on small flies and freeze for bait. Cats and walleyes love them.
