Lake Ray Roberts: The Perfect Fishing Destination
Lake Ray Roberts, a little over an hour's drive from the bustling Dallas Fort Worth area, promises extraordinary fishing escapades. Ben Hicks and Kenny Guthrie, two seasoned guides on the lake, took advantage of a rare opportunity to fish for themselves, away from their usual client-packed bass fishing boats—today's target species: white bass and crappie.
White Bass: The Aggressive Feeders
After the white bass finish their spawning season in May, they focus on the shad congregating on shallow points. These voracious fish exhibit an aggressive feeding behavior that promises a thrilling fishing experience.
