There have been a couple of reports on here and social media of white bass being caught early in the morning in a couple of the harbors. Nothing red hot but a few for the bait bucket. ---

People are catching baby white bass off the docks at Provo. The regulars are catching adults too. ---

As Catchinon said, I have found adults fairly easy to catch the last few weeks. They have been in 3-4 FOW along reedy areas both near Lincoln and near Provo Harbor. I haven’t caught the adults in either harbor the last few trips. The young of the year are all over. We got a dozen in 15 minutes at 2 in afternoon on Saturday at the Provo Harbor. We caught a few more in the main lake later in the day. As Therapist said, we found the adults mostly right on the bottom dragging the offerings fairly slowly. We did get a few of the little tikes unde a bobber but most of them were deep also. ---

I caught a few off the docks at Provo Saturday afternoon about 2:00. I really needed a smaller jig than I had, maybe something like a ratfinkee or a ratso (#10 or 12) would work well, tipped with a very small nub of worm. I used butter worms, but small diameter red worms or garden worms (smaller than nightcrawlers) would work as well. ---

I caught a bucket full yesterday in the harbor. The white bass are very aggressive this year. They fought more like wipers. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/bigfishtackle/original/3X/0/b/0bb86b8744d30a8e49263c101fc4408c23de6300.jpeg)]([71315128328 5CDF1165 19F8 4DE6 BF74 60753229DCD0 — Postimages](https://postimg.cc/sBXxnttS)) ---

Anyone catching any white bass in any of the harbors?
