Nowhere but Texas! I was enjoying a nonstop white bass catching trip on Lake Ray Hubbard with my friend guide Brandon Sargent on a spring like day with temperatures in the seventies last week. One day later I found myself all bundled up and shivering, waiting for a wild hog to show in a stretch of remote bottomland up in Wood County. This is typical of Texas and experiences that most outdoors folks can relate to. In last week’s column, I recapped the red-hot winter white bass fishing at Ray Hubbard, so suffice it to say the action is still underway. I was back on the water with Brandon Sargent and white or chartreuse halfounce slabs in water around 40 feet deep remains the ticket to a limit of good eating cold water white bass.
