Picture this: It's Saturday morning, the sun's just peeking over the horizon, and you're stepping onto our fully-rigged fishing boat. For the next four hours, it's just you, your fishing buddy, and a whole lot of striped bass. We'll cruise Lake Whitney's hotspots, using a mix of bottom fishing, light tackle, and drift fishing to maximize your chances.

We'll kick things off with some bottom fishing, dropping our lines where the big ones like to hang out. As the sun climbs higher, we'll switch it up with some light tackle action - perfect for feeling every nibble and fight. And when the bite's really on? We'll let the boat drift, covering more water and giving those stripers no place to hide. We've got all the gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest fish-finding tech. Just bring your game face (and maybe a snack or two). Oh, and don't forget your camera - you'll want proof when you land that wall-hanger!
Lake Whitney isn't just any old fishing hole - it's a striper paradise. Our early morning starts mean you're on the water when the action's hottest. Plus, with just you and your buddy on board, you've got plenty of elbow room to cast and reel without tangling lines. Our guides know this lake like the back of their hand, from the best structure to the seasonal patterns that keep the fish biting year-round. And let's be real - there's nothing like the rush of feeling that first big strike of the day. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer or just enjoy the thrill of the catch, Lake Whitney delivers.
Striped Bass are the kings of Lake Whitney, and for good reason. These hard-fighting fish can grow to impressive sizes, with 20-pounders not uncommon and the lake record standing at a whopping 40 pounds. Stripers are known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps, making them a blast to catch on light tackle. They're schooling fish, so when you find one, you've often found a whole bunch. Spring and fall are prime times for big fish, but summer can produce some incredible topwater action at dawn. And let's not forget - they're delicious. Nothing beats fresh striper on the grill after a successful morning on the lake.
While we're targeting stripers, don't be surprised if you hook into some of Lake Whitney's other gamefish. White bass, also known as sand bass, often school with their striped cousins and put up a great fight for their size. Largemouth bass are always a possibility, especially around structure. And if we're lucky, we might even tangle with a blue catfish - these whiskered giants can grow to enormous sizes in Lake Whitney's fertile waters.
Look, we could talk fish all day, but nothing beats actually getting out there and wetting a line. Our Lake Whitney Half-Day trips fill up fast, especially during peak seasons. Whether you're looking to learn new techniques, introduce a friend to fishing, or just need your fix of rod-bending action, we've got you covered. Remember, we run these trips every Saturday and Sunday morning, so it's perfect for making the most of your weekend. Don't let another season slip by without experiencing some of the best striper fishing Texas has to offer.

Striped bass are the big dogs of Lake Whitney, typically running 15-30 pounds but sometimes pushing 50+. These hard-fighting fish love to hang around underwater structure and drop-offs. We usually find 'em in 15-30 feet of water, especially near points and channels. Spring and fall are prime times, but summer can be great too if you know where to look. Folks love chasing stripers because they put up one heck of a fight and taste amazing on the grill. Nothing beats the thrill of a big striper peeling line off your reel. They're also just beautiful fish with those distinctive dark stripes down their sides. Here's a local tip: Watch for diving birds. That often means stripers are pushing bait to the surface. When you see that action, get ready for some fast and furious fishing. Toss a topwater lure into the fray and hold on tight!
