white bass in dix river-2013

[smee]

Ran out on Monday around dusk and fished the headwaters. Water level was high, but clear. I only took ~50 casts and caught 9 whites. They were all 10" to 12" males. I assume the females will be close by.

As usual, when I show up, the fish turn off.

Took a ride over there around 7. There were a ton of cars on Rankin rd so I just turned around and went to Bryants Camp. No fish but a decent night!

Went out both Saturday (4/8) and Sunday. Saturday I caught 13 white bass plus two 12in large mouth and Sunday I got limit white bass (15) bank fishing at dix river. Fishing there is still at a hit and miss stage. You can have a couple of hours without any hit and all of sudden you will have some great time around you. Just imagine like a burst of fish swimming out of lake and happened to pass by. Enjoyed a lot on both days. However, from time to time, I can see some empty soda cans and water bottle people left there on the bank. It should be a lot easier to take your empty container back than bring there. Come on, be a good fisherman and tell your fishing buddy to be good too!!!!
Good luck for everybody fishing there.

Went back out to the Dix river because my freezer was empty and I needed to eat! I heard a few people were having some luck. I went down with my buddy around 6. We ended up catching 6 total, I had quite a few swing and miss. I also lost 4 that were hooked one real nice one I think was a wiper. My buddy did not even get a bite which was terrible. We fished until dusk. Beauty day and we got to have a fish fry so everyone is happy!

We were just using a white rooster tail. Which I ended up breaking a hook off.



Three biggest fish

Any thoughts on whether Dix river/whites will be fishable this afternoon after the rains?

Chocolate Milk, a little high. I went there last night. Only fish I saw anyone catch was a nice size channel cat.
