Yellow Bass
Tyler, Texas, offers some surprisingly good yellow bass fishing in its numerous lakes and reservoirs. Lake Tyler and Lake Palestine are two popular choices, but don't overlook smaller lakes like Lake Bellwood or even some of the larger ponds. The key is to find areas with submerged structure, such as brush piles, creek channels, or rocky points. Spring and fall are the peak seasons for yellow bass in this region. During the spring spawn, look for them in shallow water near vegetation. In the fall, they tend to school up and follow shad schools. Small crankbaits, spinners, and live minnows are all effective baits. A local tip: use your electronics to locate schools of yellow bass. They often congregate in large numbers, so finding them is crucial. Also, pay attention to the wind direction. Yellow bass often prefer areas with some current or wind-blown baitfish. There are numerous public access points and boat ramps around the lakes in the Tyler area. The yellow bass here are typically smaller than other bass species, but they provide a fun and accessible fishing opportunity.
