What we found is the end of April the white bass will start to move into the river. You can watch it happen every year. The sun is higher in the sky so it will heat the mud flats up. If you know white bass they spawn on the mud flats on the river.

If you can remember last year the water temp was cold. We were 2 weeks behind and no one was catching fish. Except us I still found the mud flats we could catch 25 to 30 off of the flat but I could alway catch them in the deep water next to the flats.

So if you are trying to time it. Take the timing out of it and take a few mins. to learn what the fish are doing to make the trip fun any time you come up.
