Texas Bass Fishing
Texas anglers are serious about their fishing. They love their boats like family and worship their equipments like pets. For this reason, Texas bass fishing is one of the most competitive sports in the entire state. This means a lot coming from an area where football and baseball are a way of life. In fact, Texas bass fishing may be the only sport that ranks above team sports as an area of interest. So, where do these dedicated anglers go to find the best bass fishing in the state of Texas? Well, let's take a look at some popular areas. Texas bass fishing may be the best anywhere at Choke Canyon, the home of the Basschamps tournament the last few years, where five bass were brought to the scale at over 11 pounds in 2006. The lake is full of every kind of structure you can imagine, with the exception of docks, which are not permitted, leading to a maintained natural beauty of the area. Nestled into a valley in Texas, it can be very secluded. Flooded trees and lots of hydrilla lead to the production of big bass, and as an added bonus, you'll run into some rather large alligators, measuring over 15 feet in length, to snap photos of. Stillhouse Hollow is another great Texas bass fishing location and also a prime source of smallmouth bass, which are not as common in Texas as whites, blacks, and stripers. Check the rocky areas for some smaller schools of bass, but put more of your money in the stock around the grassy areas, where most of the larger bass will suspend, waiting to ambush some prey that happens by. Lake Travis and Lake Austin are both popular lakes for water sports and provide hangouts for local college attendees. However, they are both well known for great Texas bass fishing as well. Lake Travis, the more commercial of the two and one of the larger lakes in Texas (most of which are manmade), is a prime source for large quantities of bass, though large sized specimens are few and far between. If it is quantity you want, then you'll be happy at Lake Travis. Lake Austin, on the other hand, is a smaller, more secluded lake that offers just the opposite. If it is a trophy you are looking for, you are much more likely to find it at Lake Austin.
