White Bass

If you're looking for fast-paced white bass action near Montgomery, Texas, Lake Conroe is your destination. These schooling fish provide excellent sport, especially during their spring spawning run up the rivers and creeks that feed the lake. Look for them near the FM 1097 bridge and the mouths of the creeks. Trolling small crankbaits or casting shad-imitation lures are effective tactics. While the spring run is the most popular time to target white bass, they can be caught throughout the year by locating schooling fish with your electronics. A local tip: pay attention to bird activity, as flocks of birds often indicate schools of white bass feeding on shad near the surface. White bass in Lake Conroe are typically in the 1-2 pound range, but their aggressive feeding habits and schooling behavior make for exciting fishing. Be aware of the wind, as it can pick up quickly on the lake.
