White Bass

White bass fishing near Corsicana, Texas, can be a real blast, especially during their spring spawning runs. These aggressive fish migrate up the rivers and creeks that feed into area lakes, providing ample opportunity for anglers. Look for them in the Navarro Mills Lake tributaries, or the Richland Chambers Reservoir. The key is to find areas with current and structure. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective. Cast upstream and retrieve with the current, varying your retrieve until you find what the fish want. Early morning and late evening are often the best times to fish. As the spawn winds down, the white bass will move back into the main lake, where they can be found schooling and feeding on shad. Keep an eye out for bird activity, as this often indicates the presence of schooling fish. Local tip: Check water release schedules from the dam, as increased flow can trigger feeding activity. Be aware of boat traffic, especially on weekends.
