White Bass

Anyone else catching white bass in the Lower Allegheny?  I caught 4 Monday evening right before dark on a floating Rapala.  Usually I catch them in bunches when I find them.  The lure I was throwing was probably bigger than optimal for the size I was catching, so now I'm gonna try some fatheads next time.  Any other fish hot in the Allegheny right now?

I've seen more caught this year on the allegheny in my stretch then in the past 5 years.. no size really all average... i like to see them, they can put up a nice fight or break the monotany when walleye and bass fishing..

Instead of spoons or crankbaits, try pearl sassy shads, small white rooster tail, or a silver panther martin. When you get into a big school or even a small one, you'll be catching them left and right. The past 2 years on the ohio the white bass have been averaging 13" and some even a few inches bigger and no they are not small hybrids. I know how to tell them apart. I like to use a 9-10' light power rod with 4-6lb line for them....makes them feel even bigger. Their aggresiveness and fight for there size, make them in my opinion, a lot of fun on that setup.
 
Its not unusual to catch 10 or even up to 100 before they move on and you have to find them again.

Were they white bass or small wipers ??? Might explain the non schooling issue !

around nevile they have become quit scarse.  havent found a decent school yet this year  i can only recall that ive caught and seen caught maybe 12.  its pretty sad if you ask me   but smallmouth have picked up a little bit
