Belton Smallmouth

I will be at Lake Belton next week. Can someone tell me a few locations to target smallmouth bass. I have not been on the lake in three years. I used to fish Belton for hybrids but I hear they are near extinct now. Thanks for some help.

Texas highchool bass fishing will be there May 14th and 15th..

I’m fishing 11th 12th and 13th

Rogers Park area all the way back South to the Dam.

They and all their buddies will be prefishing those days, it will be a cluster, go to Stillhouse instead. It has smallies too.

11th and 12th are during the off limits period. Lake should be relatively normal those days. 13th is the official practice day. That day will be a mess for sure.

This. Any area around the dam, LATE in the evening or night time. I hung my very first small mouth around there on a crawfish rattle trap. Got him about 2 yards from the boat and he shook off. You had no idea how bad I was holding back tears cause my only reason to be at that lake was to catch my first smallmouth

I have only caught 4 smallmouth at Belton. First one was way up lake across from the Girl Scout camp. Was using a top water popper. I hope to catch a couple next week. I’ll try those locations. Someone on here suggested these.

If the fish are biting on Belton, you WILL catch smallies. Maybe not too big, but you will catch them.

Caught a 13.5” one today out there. No idea where I was fishing, first time I’ve ever seen the lake. First Smallie I’ve ever caught in Texas too.

Caught a 4lber and several other a couple weeks back on rooster tail Mepps 4 casting shoreline from Gorlscout camp to Morgan point marina. Deep drops. But Ned rigs to crawfish style jigs. Good luck
In fall, twitch a jerk bait over submerged trees in same area.

Ok thanks. I’ll try that area. Can’t wait to:get there.
