White Bass

Glenn Heights, Texas, puts you within striking distance of some solid white bass action, especially during their spring spawning runs. Head south to the Navasota River or the tributaries of Lake Waxahachie. These areas become hotspots when the whites migrate upstream to spawn. Look for them in areas with current, such as riffles and below dams. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective lures. The key is to cover water and find the schools. During the rest of the year, white bass can be found schooling in the main lake areas of Waxahachie, chasing shad. Keep an eye out for bird activity, which often signals a feeding frenzy. Local anglers often launch at the FM 878 bridge on the Navasota River for easy access. Be aware of water levels, as they can fluctuate depending on rainfall.
