White bass run

[HuntnHog]

Curious if anyone has had any luck catching white bass up the white river arm of Beaver Lake.  I will be going up tomorrow, picking up my dad, and putting in at 412 bridge.  Plan on heading up stream and trying our luck.
Most reports I've read say they are catching a few but doesn't sound like the run is in full swing yet. Just curious if anyone on here has been and done any good.

With as much mud as there has been in the rivers I'd imagine the run has suffered some delays ... Good Luck tomorrow and keep an eye peeled for floating trash. Give us a report when you can.

Was cold and windy yesterday.  Put in at 412 bridge around noon and went up about a mile past Neil's bluff.  Caught 4 crappie (1 keeper, another about 9.5", the rest real small,) 2 small black bass. The wind made it tough but zero white bass.  Was really surprised with as much water as we covered that we did not catch a single white bass.  But, had a good time on the water with my dad.  I grew up fishing  beaver lake with my dad and I had not been fishing on that lake since 1994.  On the way home today I drove by lake elmdale and was impressed with the ramp/Parking area and the water was a lot clearer than what we fished yesterday.  Told dad we need to try some bream fishing  there later this year.

We fish Elmdale quite a bit on our kayaks.  That lake is filled with moss and grass.  Still decent fishing though.  I was talking to the owner of that little bait shop.  He said that they just released something like 1500 to 2000 grass carp to help with that issue.

The fishing will go to crap if they did that. No grass=no baby fish

This lake is completely over run with moss.  I asked that bait shop owner why they didn't release more.  He told me that they didn't want to get rid of all of the grass and moss, they only want to attempt to control it a little better.  Right now, it is out of hand.

Did they sterilize the ones they released.

I couldn't tell you.  It was a AGFC project.
