Techniques on the Lake

When it comes to catching white bass on Grapevine, we've got a few tricks up our sleeves. We'll likely be using a mix of techniques, depending on where the fish are hanging out. If they're schooling near the surface, we might do some quick-paced casting with small jigs or spinners. When they're deeper, we could switch to jigging spoons or live bait on downriggers. Don't worry if you're new to these methods - our guides are great teachers and will have you casting like a pro in no time. We provide all the gear you'll need, from rods and reels to the latest in fish-finding tech. Just be ready to reel 'em in when the bite is on!

Top Catches This Season

Grapevine Lake's been on fire lately for white bass. Anglers have been pulling in stringers full of these feisty fish, with some days seeing catch rates that'll make your head spin. The average size has been impressive too, with plenty of fish in the 1-2 pound range. But it's not just about the numbers - it's the thrill of the fight that keeps folks coming back. There's nothing quite like feeling a school of white bass hit your lure all at once, or watching your rod tip dance as a big one tries to shake loose. Whether you're after a new personal best or just want to enjoy a day on the water, Grapevine's white bass action is hard to beat.

Species You'll Want to Hook

White bass are the stars of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These silver-sided dynamos are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting fish in freshwater. They typically range from 10-14 inches, but don't let their size fool you - they pack a punch! White bass are schooling fish, which means when you find them, you've hit the jackpot. They're most active in the spring during their spawning run, but we catch them year-round on Grapevine. In the warmer months, look for them chasing shad near the surface, creating those tell-tale "boils" that get every angler's heart racing. When the bite is on, it's not uncommon to catch fish on every cast. And let's not forget - they're delicious too, so you might want to bring a cooler for your catch!

While we're focusing on white bass, Grapevine Lake is also home to some impressive largemouth bass. These green machines can grow to impressive sizes here, with some real lunkers lurking around submerged timber and along the rocky shorelines. If we spot some good largemouth structure, we might switch gears for a bit to try for a trophy. The lake also has a healthy population of catfish and crappie, so don't be surprised if you hook into one of these as a bonus catch.

What to Expect on the Water

A day chasing white bass on Grapevine Lake is all about fast action and fun. We'll start by cruising to some proven hotspots, keeping an eye out for bird activity or surface action that might clue us in to where the fish are feeding. Once we find a school, it's game on! You might be casting to visible fish one minute, then dropping jigs to deeper schools the next. Our guides are always watching the fish finder and adjusting tactics to keep you on the bite.

Grapevine Lake itself is a beauty, with 8,000 acres of water surrounded by rolling hills and scenic shorelines. You'll get great views of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and might even see some local wildlife like ospreys or herons fishing alongside us. The lake can get busy on weekends, especially in the summer, but we know plenty of quieter spots where we can get away from the crowds and focus on the fishing.

Remember, this is a 4-hour trip, so we'll be moving at a good clip to maximize your fishing time. Bring some water and snacks to keep your energy up, and don't forget the sunscreen - that Texas sun can be intense out on the water. We've got everything else covered, from life jackets to the latest in fishing gear, so you can concentrate on reeling in the big ones.
