White Bass

Briarcliff, Texas, nestled on the shores of Lake Travis, offers excellent white bass fishing, particularly during their spring spawning run. When the water temperatures rise in late winter and early spring, the 'sandies' migrate up the Pedernales River and its tributaries. Focus your efforts around creek mouths, rocky points, and areas with current. Trolling crankbaits or casting small spinners and jigs are effective techniques. Look for birds diving, as this often indicates schools of white bass feeding on shad. Lake Travis can be a large and challenging lake, so a good depth finder is essential for locating fish. A practical tip: the area near the Highway 620 bridge is a well-known white bass hotspot. Remember to check lake levels and boating regulations before heading out.
