What guests love is the raw power - these fish will test your drag and give you a real workout. Plus, they're fantastic eating with firm, sweet meat.

Morone ChrysopsWhite bass are scrappy fighters that'll keep you busy on Lake Belton. These silver-sided fish typically run 10-14 inches and love to school up in open water or near points and dropoffs. They're visual feeders, so they bite best during low-light conditions - dawn and dusk are prime time. What makes them fun is they travel in schools, so when you find one, you'll usually find more. They put up a decent fight for their size and make excellent table fare with sweet, flaky meat. Here's a local tip: when you see birds working the surface, get there fast. White bass push baitfish up, and that's when the action gets hot. Small jigs and spoons work great when they're feeding on top.
