White Bass Fishing in Del Rio

If you're looking for some fast-paced white bass action, Lake Amistad near Del Rio, Texas, is a fantastic destination. This reservoir, formed by the Amistad Dam on the Rio Grande, offers a sprawling, diverse habitat that white bass thrive in. Spring is prime time, as the whites move up the rivers and creeks to spawn. Look for them in the shallows around rocky points and submerged timber. Fall can also be productive as they school up to feed before winter. A local tip: pay attention to bird activity; diving birds often indicate schooling whites pushing shad to the surface. Also, the Pecos River arm of the lake can be particularly productive during the spring spawn. Amistad's white bass population is known for its healthy size, with many fish exceeding a pound. Focus on using shad-imitation lures like crankbaits, spinners, and small swimbaits to maximize your chances of success.
