Anyone been fishing the North Bosque for white bass? If I drop in a kayak at Eichelberger crossing, should I head upriver or down toward Lake Waco?

Thanks!

i suggest going up river, i fished eich 3 days last week caught a couple of white right there at the bridge, but watched many many more busting shad and moving up river. Crappie are in there good too now so take some slab gear with ya as well.

Thanks! Will do

No problem man, i was out there last night for a bit, maybe i saw ya there? debating on going back out there tonight not entirely sure yet.

wasn't me...I didn't get out to fish till Thursday. I look forward to seeing you out there soon though!

Boated all the way up river yesterday to where it was impassable. A few males here and there, that's it. Not worth going way up there, at least not yet.

My father & I went up the North Bosque Saturday the 16th (morning) & we started fishing too far down. A buddy I went to high school with actually came past us a after the sun came up & told us we were not far enough yet. We followed them til we couldnt go anymore. I have a 15' aluminum Vbottom w/25hp & also have 2 troll motors on back for shallow water. There are 2 spots that I had to lift even the troll motors b/c prob in a foot & 1/2 water, we had to paddle off the bottom to cross these spots. Once up there, we caught 4 crappie & 8 whites in a few hours, all on lures, no live bait. Caught them from 3-8ft of water & caught a few trolling also. My 25hp needs some maint, took to the shop this week, so will be putting in at Baylor Camp Road Bridge w/my 12' Jon & both troll motors this Sat morning & will be at the fish spot b4 the sun comes up. We had never been on the NBosque - we grew up on Lake Belton/Leon River, but now we know where & how to fish - ITS ON!!

Just recently moved to the area and was curious about where to find the sandies running. If I'm coming from say downtown Waco area how do i get the the areas of the river to fish? I'm guessing its west on 6, its that right?

Easiest (and most popular) place to fish is the South Bosque River just upstream from Hwy 84 crossing. That stretch is holding fish now. This is bank fishing.

Are you talking about the area off of old lorena road? I saw some trucks parked there the other day but couldn't stop to check it out. Thanks for the info by the way, im itchin to get on some spawning sandies

Yes

Awesome! Thank you so much for the help

I talked with a good fishing friend of mine
today, and he caught and released over 50
whites today in the main lake. I have not gone
up the rivers yet because we are still catching
limits in the big lake.

Good luck and please post how you do.
Call me if you want to go catch a limit.
