Comments: This time of year, “Pops” like to fish windy points for white bass. Try to find one with the wind blowing in. Often, it’s best to wade out there about waist deep and enjoy the cool water while you fish. Don’t forget a stringer to keep fish tied to your belt while you wade. It’s a great way to fish and stay cool on a late summer day. Thanks for the tip Pops, Happy Birthday! Report submitted by Ben Haff, game warden stationed in Wagoner County.
