White bass are schooling
James Sanders of Oklahoma City removes a white bass from his hook while fishing at Lake Overholser
White bass have been schooling on several lakes across Oklahoma.
I have personally recieved reports of sand bass busting the surface on Arbuckle, Grand and Eufaula lakes in recent days.
At Grand, some white bass have been weighing it at 3 pounds are better.
But 1 to 2 pound sandies are perfect for filets but not so big that a lot of red meat has to be trimmed out of them.
Grab some crankbaits, spoons and curly-tailed grubs and head to the lake for some hot summer action for white bass, or sand bass as they are often called.
Early in the morning or at dusk is typically is the best time to find the sandies schooling, but as summer progresses you might even find them surfacing in the middle of the day.
In addition to Eufaula, Grand and Arbuckle, other Oklahoma lakes with a reputation for good summer sand bass fishing include Tenkiller, Broken Bow and Canton.

Appreciate you reporting on sand bass. Thats our favorite fishing, Two weeks ago we caught them on top at Sooner and yesterday, 6/13, nothing.
