Fished Naci a couple of months ago with a friend who has a cabin at the south shore village club. We fished the narrows exclusively and all we could catch was white bass.

We used Pointers, Megabass trick darters and the small Sebille magic swimmers. Water is so low you can not get to the narrows now, my buddy just got back from the cabin.

Get out early and late to fish the boils. Traffic is going to put them down most times during the day. Look for bait and fish around and under it.
Cast Masters, single tail grubs. They have small mouths but big appetites.

Gold castmasters work well. If you catch any white bass, you MUST
release them IMMIADIATLY or kill them. It is not leagle to have any white bass alive- period, not even in the livewell. I have had my livewell checked several times and the fine is not cheep.
Early in the day they should be really shallow- under 15 feet to the top. Have fun and good luck.
