i fish up northernish MN on the St. Croix river around taylors falls and oceola MN side for whitebass. i dont think there hybrids since i think they do spawn and the rivers not stocked. anyways i do not see many people fish for them. they are a blast! they will ingulf my inline spinners and small paddle tail swimbaits pluse some 3 inch tubes! im some of the very few who fishes them and eat them (there delish!) well anybody here fishes them??? if so what do you use and how do you cook them?

added note:

does the baro and such effect whitebass like it does to LMB and SMB?

most of my whitebass fishing has been done out of days of not a serious fishing but more of having fun fishing with friends i never really have paid attention to the conditions when fishing for whitebass

I used to fish for them some years ago from shore where fast water from a power plant emptied into Lake Ontario. That area was a fish magnet in general, but sometimes mixed schools of white bass and white perch came in close. When that happened, the action was fast and furious.

There aren't many fish that were more fun on light tackle with 4# line. I used a small split tail grub on a 1/16 oz. jighead, but I think just about any lure would have done the same. I never kept any.

One time I encountered a large school and after just a couple of fish a severe thunderstorm started up and I had to head for the car. What a disappointment that was and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

For the past month,  they have been running.

  That saying, "its so easy, a caveman could do it" applies to my grandson and a his batman rod.

     We use  rooster tails and roadrunners for non stop action.

     You can't beat an ultra lite spinning rod with 2-4 test.    

I do.  Sometimes.  They are good fighters and I like how they will repeatedly hit at a bait until they get hooked.  Once they committ to something, they refuse to give it up.
