Texas is a great location for bass fishing, there are many lakes and rivers that are perfect havens for these tasty fish! The trick is to know when and how to fish for them. Bass are a hunting fish, and you will have to employ new fishing methods to get the best catches. When in doubt, ask local fishermen what works the best for the waters you are fishing.
The key to a rewarding and successful bass expedition is using the right bait. Night crawlers or frogs work well, but take caution with the frogs. Large mouth bass have a tendacy to devour them. Rubber worms will suffice also. If lures are more to your liking, use a spin and pull motion on the lure to make it appear like a struggling fish.
If you are fishing in the cool part of the day, you will have your best luck near the shores or under hanging ledges. Bridge pilings and man made objects can also prove to be a rewarding location for fish to be caught. When the waters and tempuratures are warmer, bass will be in the deeper waters down in cool holes. If you are looking for white bass, striped bass, large or small mouth, there are plenty to be found in the state of Texas!
