In-Fisherman Editor In Chief Doug Stange has called North Dakota's Devils Lake "white bass Heaven on Earth," and anyone who's experienced the spring run here is apt to agree, thanks to nonstop action with fish topping 3 pounds possible. But as with so many fishing situations, dialing in the right presentation can often make the difference between a good day and one to write home about.
Timing varies from midwinter to March in southern fisheries through May in the Upper Midwest and early June in Canada.ĭuring the run, you can sometimes throw everything in the tackle box at these remarkable predators and get bit. Primetime begins during prespawn, when water temperatures rise into the 52☏ to 54☏ range, luring fish onto shallow main-lake shoals and into tributaries, and can last a month or more, as procreation may extend until the water warms to nearly 80☏. Each spring, opportunities to battle hundreds of hard-fighting whities a day running 1 to 2 pounds and up erupt on fisheries from the eastern seaboard west to Texas and north into Manitoba - with additional hotbeds of activity scattered further west.
Few, if any, panfish on the planet offer chances to catch voracious slabs until your arms ache with a fury anywhere close to that of white bass during their annual spawning run.
