White bass.

[NorthGA_Recon]

Anyone been out on some white bass this year? Usually around this time they start running up the rivers, and if you can catch it at the right time it's hard to not catch a couple dozen or so. Just wondering if anyone had any luck yet. I usually fish little river on allatoona, or the cosawatte on carters. Got a new baby at home so haven't been out yet and want to use my time wisely, lol.

Anyone know where and when is good on the Hooch north of Lanier?

Hasn't been good in several years. You can thank the bluebacks for that.

I have not been fishing in several months unfortunately due to tow vehicle problems. But from years of past experience, I would imagine the whites are active on the Coosa River around Rome, GA by now.

Is white bass kinda like square grouper?

It has been a few years but we used to put in the Ettowa up around Red top and go up river a couple of miles and float down working the banks.....some of the best fishing on a light rod you can get!

A predatory fish introduced illegally into these waters?

Yep.

But, hey, they're good striper bait.

And that's what counts (insert sarcasm smiley).

Heard they were already up the Coosa.

Been running in the coosa for a few weeks now. Went last week and caught a couple hundred. Big females should be there now.
