Where do Yellow Bass Live?
Yellow Bass have a habitat consisting of large rivers, lakes, and floodplains. The fish are able to spawn successfully in both stagnant and moving waters. The Yellow Bass usually use a sand or gravel substrate of laying their eggs and fertilization. The range extends from as far north as Canada to the Gulf of Mexico in the United states.
A fun fight – The scrappy Yellow Bass
Yellow bass will usually hit open wateron small lures and live baits. Ice fishing can work well with Yellow bass. Spoons are recommended as well as some live baits to chum up the water.
I actually catch yellow bass quite often using minnows. They are usually in the same waters as crappie and hit on the same baits. If you are using spoons or minnows you may have success finding them at your local Crappie fishing hole.
Panfish jigs also work well for yellow bass. These are great lures to use anyway if you are open to catch anything just to have a good time.
