Fishing in Texas: Largemouth Bass
Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) represents the most celebrated member of the sunfish family Centrarchidae, belonging to the order Perciformes. This renowned game fish displays distinctive green or olive-green coloration with dark horizontal markings along its body, earning the popular nickname "black bass." In Lago Vista waters this June, anglers consistently target these aggressive predators for their fighting ability and size potential.
Largemouth Bass Overview
The Largemouth Bass stands as North America's premier freshwater game fish, prized by anglers for its aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. These adaptable predators have been successfully introduced to waters worldwide, but their native range includes the eastern United States from southern Canada to northern Mexico. Their popularity stems from their willingness to strike artificial lures and their tendency to grow to impressive sizes in productive waters.
Largemouth Bass Habitat and Distribution
These bass prefer warm, shallow waters with abundant cover such as vegetation, fallen trees, and rocky structure. Lake Travis provides ideal habitat with its varied depth contours, submerged timber, and rocky points. They typically inhabit areas with water temperatures between 65-85°F and can be found from shallow flats to depths of 20 feet or more, depending on season and forage availability.
Largemouth Bass Size and Weight
Adult Largemouth Bass typically range from 15 to 32 inches in length, with weights spanning 2 to 22 pounds. The average adult measures 12-24 inches and weighs 1-4.5 pounds, though Lake Travis has produced specimens well above average size. Trophy fish exceeding 8 pounds are caught annually, with the lake's abundant forage base supporting healthy growth rates.
Largemouth Bass Diet and Behavior
These opportunistic predators feed on a diverse diet including smaller fish, crayfish, frogs, and aquatic insects. They are ambush hunters, using cover to surprise prey with explosive strikes. Peak feeding activity occurs during dawn and dusk, though they remain active throughout the day in favorable conditions. Their aggressive nature makes them excellent targets for both live bait and artificial lure presentations.
Largemouth Bass Spawning Season
Spawning occurs when water temperatures reach 60-70°F, typically from March through May in Texas waters. Males construct circular nests in shallow areas with firm bottoms, aggressively defending eggs and fry. Post-spawn bass often move to deeper structure to recover, making summer fishing productive around points, ledges, and submerged cover.
Largemouth Bass Fishing Techniques
Effective techniques include Texas-rigged soft plastics worked along bottom structure, drop shot rigs for deeper fish, and topwater lures during low-light periods. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits excel for covering water quickly, while jigs produce quality fish around heavy cover. In June, anglers around Lago Vista find success working shoreline structure during morning hours and deeper points as the day progresses.
Largemouth Bass Is It Good to Eat?
Largemouth Bass offers mild, white meat with a firm texture that adapts well to various cooking methods. The flesh is lean and provides excellent protein content with beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. Many anglers practice catch-and-release to maintain trophy populations, though smaller fish make excellent table fare when prepared fresh.
