Where the fish are today
74% Good chance for white bass today · 16–20 ft deep
- Water 60°F on top, a bit cool for them, so they feed in the warmest water they can find.
- Best water today is 16–20 ft deep, mostly on open water over the deep basin.
- The lake is layered: warm water down to about 45 ft, cold below.
- Little oxygen below about 65 ft, so fish stay above it.
Best zone: open water, about 10% of them, 18–22 ft deep (the fish on the map above).
