White Bass

White bass fishing near Morgan, Texas, centers around the Brazos River and Lake Whitney. These fish are known for their aggressive schooling behavior, making for exciting action when you find them. The spring spawning run is prime time, typically from late February through April, when the whites migrate upstream in the Brazos. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as points and creek mouths. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective. As the water warms, the white bass move back into Lake Whitney, where they can be found chasing shad in open water. Look for bird activity or surface disturbances to locate feeding schools. A fish finder is crucial for locating these schools in deeper water. The white bass in this area are typically of good size, offering a fun fight on light tackle.
