White BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLedgesWe focused below the dam by the ledge. Lots of shad swimming around. Water was stained and little flow. Whitebass was scattered and small. Average about 11 inches. Once the buffalo's started hitting the whitebass shut off. It was fun targeting Buffalo on plastic and light tackle. Water was still cold to the touch. Give it another week or two and it'll be prime time.
