This Saturday morning, March 12th, I was joined by fiancees Sean Cousens and Courtney Denman for a birthday outing celebrating Sean’s 36th birthday. We targeted white bass on Stillhouse Hollow.
We had solid fishing this morning from roughly 7:30 to 10:20a. Our catch consisted of white bass mainly in the 1 and 2 year class, with a few nice 13+ inch 3 yearolds like those shown above thrown in for good measure.
As often occurs when white bass feed in the same spot for an extended period of time, bottom feeders like catfish and drum will move in after detecting the odor and commotion of the white bass, to feed on the scraps that have fallen to the bottom.
