Glad you found a few fish. They can be shifty when the weather is playing games with water conditions...especially with the temperature. The established spawning temp for white bass is around 65 degrees. But they start grouping up and getting rowdy by about 60 degrees and get progressively more active with each degree afterward. However, the opposite is true also. If the temps suddenly drop a few degrees they will either move elsewhere or at least become a lot less active. Once the water stays above 65 it can be wide open 24/7. But during days when the temps are climbing from a point much below 65, the fishing will definitely improve later in the day after the sun warms the water. I have seen it go from zero to whoopee after a mere one or two degree increase in temperature under current conditions.
