After the last few trips in the boat not being so productive, I was dying to get into some number, so I grabbed my ultralight and headed to riverpark in search of some white bass.<br /><br />Got a late start, about 1pm, but it was so beautiful emoSun the wife was off and had the baby so I figured id get out. The water wasn&#39;t flowing as much as id liked, but there was large schools of shad everywhere with lots of action. I probably caught about 50 or so whites and about 20 yellows. Wasn&#39;t much size to the whites, but thats how it usually is with little or no current.<br /><br />Best part of the day was a nice smallie that took about 5 min to get in. He came off right as I was trying to get him out of the water. emoBawl Looked to be in the 2lb range. <br /><br />Not the biggest fish but using a 5ft ultrlite with 3lb test is alway fun especially when you get in the bigger fish.emoDance <br /><br />My goal this fall is to catch a smallie in the 3lb range on the ultralite. emoThumbsup emoThumbsup
