  • Want to know where and when to catch Yellow Bass? Early spring fishing with minnows is a good way to determine if the yellow bass are around. As the water temperature increases to 55 degrees and above, the yellow bass with start running in creeks and creek mouths. The love live minnows but will also go for small lures like Gulp Minnows, grubs, and small jerkbaits. Yellow bass are good eating, and fun to catch. If your lake or river contains yellow bass, learn where and when to catch them for a great time fishing as the season begins. #fishing #bass

    I once went camping with my son's scout troop at a state fishing lake . The park patrol said that they didn't have the space for such a large group and in the future to probably go somewhere else. The scouts project was picking up trash around the lake. Two eight ft truck beds full to the truck rooftop. The park patrol said afterwards we can come back whenever we want. Was a great weekend.

    My local creek is warming up, but I think the fish have moved on to deeper waters so there isn't much biting. It almost looks like that second yellow bass got attacked by something, maybe a catfish, and got away.
