White Bass

White bass fishing near Callisburg, Texas, is largely centered around the spring spawning runs. While smaller lakes hold some populations year-round, Lake Ray Roberts is the key destination. During the spring, usually March and April, white bass migrate upstream to spawn, congregating in the creeks and river channels feeding into the lake. This is when you'll find the most concentrated action. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective. A local tip: keep an eye on local fishing reports to pinpoint the exact locations of the spawning runs. The fish tend to be smaller than other popular species, but their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior make for exciting fishing. Focus on areas with current, such as the mouths of creeks or around bridge pilings. Be prepared for some crowded conditions during the peak of the run, as this is a popular time for anglers.
