Spotted Bass
While largemouth get most of the attention, Nixon, Texas also holds some decent populations of spotted bass, particularly in the Guadalupe River. This river offers a more natural setting compared to the nearby power plant lakes and can be a great change of pace if you're looking for a different fishing experience. Spring and fall are the best times to target spotted bass, especially around rocky areas, submerged timber, and creek inlets. Smaller crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are effective baits. Access to the Guadalupe River can be found at various bridge crossings and public parks, but be prepared for some wading or bank fishing. These spots tend to be smaller than largemouth, but they are aggressive fighters. One local tip: focus on areas with current, as spotted bass tend to prefer moving water. Also, keep an eye out for crawfish, as they are a major food source for spotted bass in this river system.
