In years of normal water flow, fishing for whites in tributaries above good white bass lakes can be spectacular. The fish will also spawn near windy points where currents created by the wind suspend their eggs. They also gang up in huge schools over humps, points or other submerged structures and will readily strike a jigging spoon. White bass are active this time of the year and school regularly. The fish are constantly on the move, chasing baitfish, mostly threadfin shad.
Windswept points are good ambush spots for white bass to waylay schools of shad.
Watch for surface schools of fish frothing the water just about anywhere in the lake. Schools of white bass are easy to find with sonar, and there are few days when they resist a jigging spoon repeatedly put in front of their noses. Weather can be miserable, but the fishing can be great. In late winter, the fish prepare for spawning runs near the mouths of traditional spawning streams.
