White Bass

White Bass action near Shavano Park, Texas, typically involves a short drive to larger reservoirs outside the immediate area. Canyon Lake and Medina Lake, though sometimes affected by water level fluctuations, can offer seasonal White Bass runs. The spring spawning run is the prime time, usually occurring from late February through April. During this period, White Bass congregate in the upper reaches of the reservoirs and in the riverine sections. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. Look for areas with moving water, such as creek mouths and dam tailraces. Be prepared for crowded conditions during the peak of the run. Always check lake conditions and water levels before heading out, as these can significantly impact fishing success. A smaller option closer to Shavano Park could be the Salado Creek, but check for public access points and be aware that it is heavily dependent on rainfall.
