Spotted Bass
For spotted bass near West Lake Hills, concentrate your efforts on Lake Travis. This Highland Lakes reservoir offers ideal habitat for spots, with its rocky structure, clear water (at least compared to other Texas lakes), and fluctuating water levels. Spotted bass tend to prefer deeper water than largemouth, so focus on points, humps, and bluffs in the 15-30 foot range. Small crankbaits, jigs, and drop-shot rigs are all effective. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but spotted bass can be caught year-round. A good tactic is to target areas where the Pedernales River arm meets the main lake. The clearer water on Travis can make finesse techniques particularly effective. Remember to check the water levels before you head out, as access can be affected by fluctuations.
