Find these fish by hunting for them just above the thermoclines in deeper water, concentrating your efforts on depths of 14 to 28 feet. This can make for some fantastically exciting fishing.

They’ll target small shad, minnows, smelt, and other schooling baitfish species, pursuing their prey so vigorously that they’ll often drive them to the surface in a bait ball and then literally jump out of the water in their urgency to feed. Hunting in large packs, the fish begin to pursue schools of baitfish with a vengeance.

During the post-spawn season of early summer when the fish are moving back into the main bodies of water they inhabit, they become voracious. Summer white bass fishing can offer some of the most thrilling fishing action of the year, as it gives you a ton of options to use various techniques.
