Spring Fishing Belton Lake! Texas Smallmouth Bass

In this video I got to go fishing for my first time on Lake Belton in Temple Texas! This lake is know for its large population of southern smallmouth bass. This video was filmed in late March, and we caught prespawn and post spawn bass. We didn't see any fish on beds though. If you enjoyed the video, or found it helpful then hit the like button for me!

Love the video. Have you had any luck with the flat sided cranks in the ponds? I seem to do nothing but dredge up the bottom. Appreciate what you do.

I haven’t thrown them much in ponds. There’s too much grass in the ponds around me. Thanks for watching the videos!

Thank you for video! I am new to fishing and just moved to the Belton area. What bait did you and your friend use?

[@joelmaske2493]

Those are guadalupe bass ?

[@thesouthwes]

No they were smallmouth bass

[@joryholland8253]

What lure were you usin? And what part of the lake?

[@thesouthwes]

I used like 6 different lures, and we went all over the lake. We just targeted coves and standing timber. I think that the Berkeley frittside crankbait did the best.
