White Bass

If you're looking for some fast-paced action, Clarksville City, Texas, offers excellent white bass fishing, particularly in the spring. When the water temperatures rise, these feisty fish migrate upstream to spawn in the Red River and its tributaries. This creates a concentrated bite that can be absolutely electric. Look for them in areas with current breaks, rocky points, and around submerged timber. Early morning and late evening are prime times. A great access point is the public ramp on the Red River just south of town. Use jigs, spinners, or crankbaits to entice a strike. Keep an eye on water levels, as heavy rains can muddy the water and slow the bite. The white bass here aren't giants, but they're plentiful and aggressive, making for a fun day on the water.
