Spotted Bass
While largemouth get most of the attention, Waxahachie also holds a decent population of spotted bass. These fish are often overlooked but can provide some exciting action, especially in the clearer waters of creeks and smaller lakes around the area. Lake Waxahachie is a good place to start. Spotted bass tend to prefer rocky structure and deeper water than largemouth, so target these areas with finesse techniques. Small crankbaits, jigs, and drop-shot rigs are all effective. Spring and fall are again the best times to fish, but spotted bass can be caught year-round. A key tip is to downsize your presentation; these fish can be picky. The spotted bass in this region are typically smaller than largemouth, rarely exceeding 3 pounds, but they fight hard for their size. Look for them near the dam and riprap areas of Lake Waxahachie.
