White bass fishing near West University Place centers around the spring spawning runs in the tributaries of Lake Livingston and Lake Conroe. While not directly in West University Place, a short drive north puts you in prime position. These feisty fish migrate upstream to spawn, creating some exciting and fast-paced action. Early spring, typically February through April, is when the runs are in full swing. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective. A local trick is to target areas where creeks and streams enter the main river channel; these areas often concentrate the fish. Bank access can be limited in some areas, so a small boat or kayak can be a huge advantage. Be aware of water levels and flow rates, as these can impact the location and intensity of the white bass run.
