White Bass

If you're looking for white bass action near Highland Haven, Lake LBJ is the place to be. These schooling fish provide exciting action, especially during their spring spawning run up the Colorado River and its tributaries. Look for them near the mouths of creeks and river channels. The bite is usually fast and furious, with multiple fish caught in a short period. Small crankbaits, jigs, and inline spinners are all effective. During the rest of the year, white bass can be found schooling in open water, chasing shad. A fish finder is essential for locating these schools. A local tip is to watch for birds diving on the water; this often indicates a school of white bass feeding on shad below. Public boat ramps provide easy access, but be aware of boat traffic, especially during peak season. Lake LBJ's white bass population is generally healthy, providing a consistent and enjoyable fishing experience.
