[quote high_n_dry]What size are the WB you are harvesting at Pelican Bay, and how are you acquiring them? Net, Lure, etc?
I assume a larger WB cut in legal size strips might work pretty good as well?
With all the postings in the area are you still exiting the main road at mile marker 19 to get down to your launch site?[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]I am attaching a pic of the size whitettes I got at Pelican Bay and how I hook them. They are in all the harbors right now and are about an inch shorter than they were at this time last year. Late spawn.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Illegal to keep white bass caught by any method other than hook or line...no nets or traps. I think that should be changed. No limit on them and they need thinning by whatever means.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Best way to catch them is to find them under a light at a launch ramp...right at daybreak. Then use a couple of tiny flies or small ice jig with a bit of worm. You can catch a bucketful in a hurry. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]No size restrictions on the size of strips you can use on white bass. Only on lakes where there are tiger muskies will you find bait size restrictions and it is illegal to use white bass in any waters except UL and the Jordan River. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Serious big cat chasers often use large whole white bass...or cut them in half. I like to fillet them and either use a whole fillet or cut the fillet into a couple of long fluttering strips. Use smaller pieces and you will catch anything and everything in the lake.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Don't know how familiar you are with the Knolls. Yes, you do make the same exit...at mile marker 19. And if you stay on that same gravel road all the way to the water you are okay. The posted signs are mainly to the west of the road...all the way to the fence line. Unlimited access (for now) to the east. And you can drive west on the shoreline "road" about halfway to the fence...but posted signs from there on. I launch off the beach just before the little reed island. It is too shallow beyond that.[/#0000ff]
