[cool][#0000ff]Your reckylections are correct. White bass traditionally spawn not too long after the walleyes, which means sometime in May. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have really been surprised to see eggs in some of the white bass caught recently. I think I mentioned that some I saw appeared to be being reabsorbed by the fish, which happens when fish are unable to spawn on schedule.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]One of the regulars I know, who fishes the Lincoln Beach area several times a week from a boat, has also made the same observation. He has also had both males and females "spewing" when he lifted them into his boat. There is undoubtedly some spawning going on, but it may not be the great spawn that the whities need for a major rebound.[/#0000ff]
