White Bass

When the white bass start their spring run, Roxton, Texas, can be a hotspot. While there isn't a major river running directly through Roxton, nearby creeks and rivers that feed into larger bodies of water can see impressive migrations of white bass. The key is timing; the run typically occurs in late winter or early spring, triggered by warming water temperatures and increased flow. Focus on areas with current, such as below dams, bridge pilings, and creek mouths. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. A local tip: pay attention to local fishing reports and online forums to stay informed about when the run is starting. The white bass in this region are generally plentiful, but they don't tend to reach enormous sizes. Most fish will be in the 1-2 pound range, but they fight hard and provide plenty of action.
