What's the Deal?

This ain't your average lazy day on the water. We're talking about a laser-focused trip in August when the white bass are schooling up and hungry. Bob's got all the gear you need - quality rods, reels, and the right bait to entice those stripers. You just need to bring your A-game and a valid Oklahoma fishing license. With room for two anglers, it's perfect for you and a buddy to compete for the biggest catch of the night. Just remember, this trip is designed for folks who already know their way around a rod and reel. We're here to fine-tune your technique, not teach you how to bait a hook.

Rigging Up for River Action

Forget about trolling or sitting still - we're going to be on the move, hitting the hotspots as the white bass start their evening feeding frenzy. Bob's got a few tricks up his sleeve, like using light spinning gear with small jigs or in-line spinners. We might switch it up with some topwater action if the fish are busting on the surface. The key is to be quick on your feet and ready to cast. These rivers can change fast, so we'll be reading the water, looking for current seams and eddies where the bass like to ambush their prey. Don't be surprised if we hop from spot to spot - that's all part of the strategy to keep us on the fish.

Species Spotlight: White Bass

Let's talk about our target - the scrappy white bass. These silver-sided fighters might not be the biggest fish in the river, but pound for pound, they're some of the most fun you can hook into. Averaging 1-3 pounds, these guys school up tight and when you find 'em, it's non-stop action. They're known for their aggressive strikes and strong initial runs that'll have your drag singing. August is prime time as they start to fatten up for the fall, chasing shad and other baitfish. The best part? When you hook one, there's a good chance its buddies are right there with it, so be ready for multiple hookups. It's not uncommon to hit double digits on a good evening, giving you plenty of chances to perfect your hookset and fighting technique.

Why Anglers Can't Get Enough

There's something special about fishing as the day winds down. The water calms, the air cools, and the fish start to feed with a vengeance. It's that magical hour when everything seems to come alive. Our regulars keep coming back because this trip hits that sweet spot - it's short enough to fit into a busy schedule but long enough to get your fill of fast-paced fishing action. Plus, with Bob's expertise, you're not just catching fish, you're learning something new every time you cast. Whether it's a subtle change in retrieve speed or the exact spot to drop your lure, these are the kind of insights that turn good anglers into great ones.

Booking Your Bass Bash

If you're itching to tangle with some hard-fighting white bass and sharpen your river fishing skills, don't let this opportunity slip by. August books up fast, and with only two spots per trip, you'll want to lock in your date ASAP. Remember, this isn't a laid-back, beer-in-hand kind of charter - we're here to fish hard and smart. So grab your fishing buddy, make sure your license is up to date, and get ready for an evening of non-stop action on Oklahoma's rivers. Trust me, once you feel that first white bass smash your lure as the sun sets, you'll be hooked for life. Don't wait - book your spot now and let's chase some stripers!

Learn more about the specie

White Bass

White Bass (Morone chrysops) Fish Description

Also known as Sand Bass or Silver Bass, the White Bass is a member of the Moronidae or Bass Family.

As its name suggests, the White Bass is primarily colored silvery-white to pale green. Its back is darker, but its belly and sides are white. The White Bass has narrow and dark stripes along the sides of its belly. It has rough scales that are distinctively big; it possesses two dorsal fins. Its body is compressed laterally.

To identify White Bass, look for a lateral line with around 51 to 60 scales. This species also has dorsal fins numbering 12 to 14; anal fin rays, 11 to 14; pectoral fin ray, 15 to 17; and 20 to 25 gill rakers. Another characteristic of the White Bass is its prominent tooth patch near the tip of its tongue.

Diet and Size

As a carnivorous feeder, the White Bass has at least four favorite major diet options: the leptodora, daphnia, cyclopoid copepods, and calanoid copepods. White Bass are visual feeders who will readily bite any live bait especially minnows and worms.

The White Bass can measure up to 10 to 12 inches in length; some are even recorded to have reached 18 inches. Generally, they weigh up to 7 pounds.

Interesting Facts About the White Bass

The White Bass is Oklahoma’s state fish.
The White Bass has gained acclaim as a significant sport fish in Manitoba since it was introduced there in the 1960s.
The White Bass has a “fake” spinous ray. It also has a homocercal tail.
Female White Bass lay around 240,000 to 930,000 eggs; they spawn from mid-March to late May.
One unusual mating ritual among the White Bass is how males bump against the female’s abdomen. After that, the female goes near the surface to begin spinning and releasing eggs.

White Bass — Fishing Techniques

The White Bass is very popular among recreational anglers; in fact, this is the fifth most favored species among licensed fishers from Texas.

Once you sight a school of White Bass, make sure to use spinners or spoons along the water surface to entice them. One other common method of luring them is by using bottom fishing at night; you can also utilize live bait.

You can use small jigs as artificial lures; a 1/8 ounce marabou jig should do the trick. For best results, use jigs that are black or white. If you go for soft plastic lures, try the tube bait, or a small jig head with a curly tail grub. One other lure you can utilize is a small jig packed with soft plastic swimbaits; you can have either the 1/8 or ¼ ounce jigs.

Be careful because White Bass are known to be aggressive fighters. However, this struggle may be worth it because of its exceptional taste.

Note that every state may have some regulations as to the size, length, and other factors related to capturing this fish.

White Bass Habitat and Distribution

The White Bass are fairly distributed in the US, especially in the Midwest. They are plenty around Lake Erie and Pennsylvania. Most of the White Bass population are native to Lake Poinsett, Detroit River, Arkansas River, the Great Lakes, and the Red River drainage. They also inhabit the lakes in Winnebago, Wisconsin and the rivers in Mississippi.

This species generally inhabits big rivers and shallow rivers, reservoirs, streams, and creeks. They are often found upstream where there are high densities.
