Do you think a bigger size will move in a bit later in the spawning run? Last week I caught a few all 14" at Clarksville marina and couple days ago caught 3ea that were 10"-11" fish.Back when I was a kid we would catch Whites running upriver to spawn and they were all 1&3/4 to 2&1/4 lb fish;hoping to get into some that size this year.

I’ve always found white bass to run in same size schools. Some bodies of water produce bigger fish than others. I’ve never understood the white bass sizing. There will be certain years at Pickwick that the big girls show up....17-18 inches long...then the next year you get 12-14 inch fish. If they ever get the spill gates closed at Pickwick I will make a couple of trips to see what the whites are like there this year. I am hopeing bigger fish will move in at Nickajack. All those I am catching could be the smaller males that have moved in first. According to conventional wisdom that could be the case as water temps are not yet high enough for big females to show up.
