Any one target white bass in central Ohio during spawn, ( bank fishing )

I fish for Crappie all year round except during spring months when white bass spawn, they fight like nothing else for their size and when you find a school it can go on for hrs. I have been making a small hair jig for years to catch them and with ultra light tackle a 1/64 th oz. jig and bobber it's a blast when they are on. We live south of Columbus and only 45 min. drive from probably 5 different lakes to run to when they are running. Just gets me excited talking about it. I know most people won't eat them but I found years ago if you take care of them and clean them properly they are tastey. I keep them on ice or alive if possible when I clean them and cut all the red meat off the skin side of fillet.

Cowan lake in Wilmington has a bunch of em n it. I don't fish for em but catch alot of em crappie fishing!

I don't fish Cowan but still not that far off. What is the feeding stream of Cowan or should I say where and what end of lake ?

On West Champlin RD. off 68

Thanks for the info, it will be on my list to check early. Do you know if they have much of a white bass run at Cowan in the spring?

i've herd they have a decent run... there's only one way to find out:fish

And that I will.

good luck!
i do know later n the summer you can catch them at the beach.

all the rivers around town are full of white bass... But if you want good size & good clean taste... try fishing Brookville lake, it is good fishing at the Dam the last 3 weeks of april & the 1st two weeks of May...
