Does anyone have any information whether the "stripes" or some call "white bass" have made their "run" up the sloughs? It has been my experience that it usually happens for about two days usually about mid-March. I don't know if the water is at the right depth for their "run" or if the weather may have had an affect on the timing. When they are "running" I catch them on a "small" white jig. Year before last I literally made 12 casts and caught 12 fish(usually one to three pounds). My experience has been in the "Moonbranch" slough. I am going to the lake tomorrow to start my spring cleanup and plan to make a few casts.
