Known for their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior, White Bass provide fast-paced action, especially during their spring spawning runs.

Their willingness to hit a variety of lures and baits makes them an exciting and rewarding species to pursue.
White Bass Fishing in Tyler
White Bass fishing near Tyler, Texas, is a seasonal treat, with the spring spawning run being the highlight. Lake Palestine and Lake Tyler are popular choices. As the water warms in late winter/early spring, these fish migrate upstream to spawn, congregating in large numbers. Focus your efforts in the creeks and river channels feeding into the lakes. As mentioned, pay attention to forage; shad are key, so lures that mimic their size and action are effective. White jigs and small crankbaits are local favorites. Don't be afraid to experiment with depth, as the fish will move up and down in the water column depending on temperature and current. A local tip: watch for bird activity; diving birds often indicate schools of white bass feeding on shad below.
