White Bass
White bass, also known as sand bass, offer fast-paced action near Ponder, Texas, especially during their spring spawning runs. Lake Ray Roberts and Lake Lewisville are popular destinations for white bass anglers. These fish migrate upstream to spawn in the creeks and rivers that feed the lakes, creating exciting opportunities for shore and boat anglers alike. Early spring, typically March and April, is the peak of the run. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. Look for areas with moving water, such as creek mouths and riffles. White bass tend to school up, so when you find one, you'll likely find more. Local tip: Check the Lake Ray Roberts tailrace below the dam. It can be a hotspot during the spawn, but be aware of strong currents and changing water levels. Always check water release schedules before fishing there.
