Lake Whitney provides
some of the best striped bass fishing in Texas, with March
through May being the best months. Anglers can find stripers in Lake
Whitney feeding on large schools of shad and near submerged brush or timber.
Spring is the best time to catch quality size largemouth bass.
From March through May, fish are in shallow water 2 to 15 feet deep.
From June through August, largemouths are usually found at depths of 10 to 20
feet in the clearest parts of the lake. In September and October, bass
may be caught near the surface or in water less than 10 feet deep. From
December through February, anglers should concentrate on depths of 15 to 30
feet, using plastic worms, jigs, and deep-diving crank baits.
