Species You'll Want to Hook
Crappie: These tasty panfish are a Lake Ray Hubbard staple. Known for their light bite and delicious fillets, crappie fishing is as much about finesse as it is about patience. We target them around brush piles and submerged timber, using light tackle and small jigs or minnows. Spring is prime time for crappie, but we can find them year-round if you know where to look - and we do!
White Bass: Also called sand bass, these hard-fighting fish are a blast on light tackle. They school up and chase shad, creating exciting topwater action when they're feeding. We often find them along main lake points and humps, especially during their spring spawning run. White bass are perfect for anglers who want non-stop action and a great fish fry afterward.
Channel Catfish: The whiskered warriors of Lake Ray Hubbard, channel cats are fun to catch and great to eat. We target them using cut bait or prepared stinkbaits, fishing near the bottom in areas with good current flow. They're active year-round but really turn on during the warmer months. Don't be surprised if you hook into a monster - Lake Ray Hubbard has produced some impressive catfish over the years!
Blue Catfish: The big cousins of channel cats, blue cats can grow to impressive sizes in Lake Ray Hubbard. We use heavier tackle and larger baits when targeting these bruisers. They prefer deeper water and tend to hang around underwater structure. Landing a big blue cat is always a thrill, and they make for some great photos before we release them to fight another day.
Yellow Bass: Often overlooked but never disappointing, yellow bass (or barfish) are scrappy fighters that school up in huge numbers. We find them in similar areas to white bass, often mixed in with their cousins. They're smaller on average but make up for it with their aggressive bite and willingness to hit a variety of lures. Yellow bass are perfect for anglers who want fast action and a tasty meal.

Blue Catfish
Blue cats are the heavyweight champs of Lake Ray Hubbard. These bruisers can grow massive, with 20-30 pounders not uncommon and the potential for true giants. Look for them in the deepest parts of the lake, especially near channel edges and underwater structure. Blues are most active in cooler months, making fall and winter prime time. They're aggressive predators, often chasing down live bait. Anglers target them for the thrill of battling a true monster and their good eating quality. To land a big blue, use heavy tackle and fresh cut bait. My local tip: find a deep hole and use your fish finder to locate schools of bait fish. Where there's bait, big blues are often lurking nearby. Be prepared for a lengthy fight - these cats don't give up easily.
Channel Catfish
Channel cats are a Lake Ray Hubbard staple, offering both good eating and a solid fight. These whiskered bottom-feeders typically run 2-5 pounds, though bigger ones aren't uncommon. You'll find them in deeper holes, around structure, and cruising flats in search of food. Catfish bite year-round but are especially active in warmer months. They're not picky eaters - cut bait, worms, or stinkbait all work well. Anglers love targeting them for their reliability and excellent table fare. To up your odds, try fishing at night when cats are most active. My local trick: use a slip sinker rig with a circle hook to minimize deep hooking. Let them take the bait and run before slowly reeling in. Be careful handling these slimy critters - their fins can deliver a nasty poke if you're not careful.
Crappie
Crappie are a fun, tasty target on Lake Ray Hubbard. These silvery panfish usually run 7-12 inches and put up a scrappy fight on light tackle. You'll find them hanging around submerged brush, fallen trees, and dock pilings in 5-15 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime crappie seasons when they move shallow to spawn and feed. Crappie are schooling fish, so once you find one, you've likely found a bunch. They're popular for their delicate, flaky white meat. To land crappie, try a small jig or minnow under a bobber. Work it slowly near cover and watch for that telltale twitch. My go-to trick is using crappie nibbles on the jig - that extra scent can trigger strikes when they're being finicky. Patient anglers who locate a good school can easily catch a limit of these tasty panfish.
White Bass
White bass are a blast to catch on Lake Ray Hubbard. These sporty fighters typically run 10-14 inches and put up an impressive battle for their size. Look for them in open water, chasing shad near the surface. Spring is prime time when they make their spawning runs up creeks and rivers. White bass often school up, so finding one can lead to non-stop action. They're aggressive feeders and will hit a variety of lures. Anglers love targeting them for their hard-fighting nature and tasty fillets. To get into a good white bass bite, keep an eye out for birds working the surface - that's often a dead giveaway for feeding schools below. My local tip: tie on a small silver spoon and retrieve it quickly just under the surface. When you find an active school, it's not uncommon to catch one on nearly every cast.
Yellow Bass
Yellow bass are the scrappy little cousins of white bass in Lake Ray Hubbard. These feisty fish usually run 6-10 inches, but what they lack in size they make up for in fight. Look for them in shallow, rocky areas near shore, especially around points and dropoffs. Spring and fall are peak seasons when they school up to feed. Yellow bass are aggressive and will hit small jigs, spinners, and live bait. Anglers enjoy targeting them for their fast action and tasty fillets. To get into a good yellow bass bite, try fan-casting small lures near rocky shorelines. My local tip: use ultralight tackle to really appreciate their spirited fight. When you find a school, you can often catch them one after another. They might be small, but a limit of these little scrappers makes for a fun day and a tasty fish fry.
