White Bass

White bass enthusiasts will find some springtime action near Mustang Ridge, Texas, particularly in the creeks and rivers that feed into the larger reservoirs and waterways. The annual white bass run is what draws most anglers. These fish migrate upstream to spawn, concentrating them in predictable areas. Look to the creeks feeding into the Colorado River. The run typically peaks in late February through early April, depending on water temperature. A local tip is to focus on areas with current breaks or structure like submerged timber. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective. Be mindful of water clarity, as stained water can impact lure visibility and fish activity. Pay attention to local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on the run's progress. Keep an eye on the weather, as heavy rains can impact water clarity and access.
