White Bass

White bass fishing near Dennis, Texas, centers around the spring spawning runs. These fish migrate upstream in the Brazos River and its tributaries, providing exciting opportunities for anglers. The peak season is typically March and April, when water temperatures reach the mid-50s. Look for white bass congregating near riffles, sandbars, and any structure that breaks the current. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. A local tip is to check the water clarity; white bass prefer clearer water, so focus on areas where the Brazos isn't too muddy. There are a few low water crossings and bridge access points along FM 4 and Highway 16 where you can try your luck. The white bass in this area are generally plentiful but can be smaller than those found in larger reservoirs. Expect most to be in the 1-2 pound range, but the sheer numbers can make for a memorable trip.
