White Bass

White bass fishing near Joshua, Texas, is largely dependent on the spring run in the Brazos River and its tributaries. While there aren't large reservoirs specifically known for white bass in the immediate vicinity, the spring migration offers a fantastic opportunity. Look for the whites to begin their upstream journey as water temperatures rise in late winter/early spring. Focus on areas with current, such as riffles, creek mouths, and bridge pilings. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are highly effective. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity; the clearer the water, the better the fishing. Also, be prepared for crowds, as the white bass run is a popular event. Access points along the Brazos River can be limited, so research your options beforehand. Remember to check Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for creel and size limits, which can vary.
