Arkansas River fishing white bass

As the cooler weather comes, the hybrid and white bass begin schooling and feeding on the surface.
When fishing for schooling fish, don’t fish right in the middle of the feeding frenzy. Instead, cast to the outside edges first and pick up those fish. If you catch a fish from the middle of the pack, it often scatters the school.
Arkansas River:largemouth bass are excellent on watermelon seed worms and tubes flipped around jetties in 2 to 6 feet of water. Kentucky bass are holding on the jetty tips a little deeper than the largemouths and are biting well on spinnerbaits and black/white crankbaits. Catfishing is strong on the jetty tips using whole shad. Cast the bait above the jetty and let it drift past the waiting catfish.
