Largemouth Bass
Southlake, Texas, offers several options for largemouth bass anglers, with Grapevine Lake being the most prominent. This lake is known for its clear water and healthy bass population. Focus on submerged structure, points, and weed lines. Spring (March-May) is the spawning season, offering excellent opportunities for sight fishing. Fall (October-November) is also productive as bass feed aggressively before winter. Local Tip: Grapevine Lake can get crowded, especially on weekends, so consider fishing during the week or early mornings. The lake's clear water means that bass can be easily spooked, so use light line and make long casts. Also, be aware of the wind – it can pick up quickly and make boat control challenging. Texas-rigged worms and crankbaits are local favorites, but don't be afraid to experiment with other lures to find what the bass are biting on.
