White bass.

Back when I did, the rule of thumb was they start up river to spawn, 2nd week after Dogwoods bloom.

You are the second person to tell me this, this week. Now I know.

It's a bit of a drive but the Santee River/Lake Marion in South Carolina is known for white bass.

I think I caught 50+ one weekend at rope mill, down around the 575 bridge. It's awesome when they're in there.

They are running up the Etowah in Cartersville.

We got on them pretty good on the coosa today. Brought a few home for a fish fry.

They're in little river pretty thick now, up at rope mill.

What are ya'll using to catch them on? Lure, and line weight?

If it's open water, a 1/8 oz. Green Chartreuse Rooster tail, with yellow as a back up.

If it's a little rockier or brushier, same colors in 1/8 jig with same color 2" curly tail. Glitter tails seem to do a smidge better, but I wouldn't sweat it. Rooster tails still will work, but you can't afford to fish them.

IMO lighter line is best because if you are "up the river" heavier line will make your jig "float." I get by fine on 6 lb. fluro.

If you hit a Wal Mart, or Academy, you'll notice that these colors are mostly already gone.
