White Bass

If you're looking for some fast-paced action in the Pflugerville area, consider targeting white bass. These schooling fish can provide non-stop excitement, especially during their spring spawning runs. While Lake Pflugerville holds some white bass, Gilleland Creek, which feeds into the lake, can be particularly productive during the spring. Look for them congregating near creek mouths and areas with current. Small spinners, crankbaits, and jigs are effective lures. A local secret: watch for bird activity, as flocks of birds often indicate schools of white bass feeding on the surface. White bass are generally smaller than striped bass, but they fight hard for their size. Keep an eye on water levels in Gilleland Creek, as low water can make access challenging. Remember to check Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for white bass, including any size or bag limits.
