White Bass Fishing Tips
White Bass Fishing Tips galore here below!
But first a few general zoological and angling notes.
The white bass (Morone chrysops, Moronidae family), is not in the same
family of the black bass (sunfish family). It's a little like perch but larger
in size (usually between 25 to 38 cm -10 to 15 inches; 0.5 to 2 kg -1 to
4 pounds; larger fish of 3-4 pounds also exist). They move in schools and
fee on live baits like minnows and worms.
Generally speaking you can use flyfishing
lures and similar baits as for panfish.
