Five secrets for catching Wisconsin white bass:
1. Choose your lure carefully and make sure you use the right size. The mouth of the white bass is smaller than some of the other bass species. As a result, you may need to use a smaller size hook and lure than what you're use to. Since the white bass can be picky or change what they strike at several times during one fishing trip, you need to be prepared to change lures quick and easily when they get bored with one selection. Jigs are a great choose since there are so many different options available and they can be changed easily along with spinner baits and crank baits.
2. The best time to go white bass fishing is in the early morning, late evening or during the night. Overcast days are great too simply because this species prefers to stay out of direct sunlight. They won't be as active during the heat of the day but if you do fish during this time, then search for shady areas where the sun is not penetrating the water.
3. Have patience if you truly want to reel in the white bass of Wisconsin. If you get impatient and move around too much or cut your fishing trips short, then it'll be difficult to reel in a nice catch. Of course, you do need to move around some if you're not getting a bite but you should spend at least twenty minutes in one area and try a variety of baits before moving on.
