Mexia Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Mexia Lake is a 1,048-acre reservoir offering fishing for Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Blue Catfish and more. Spring and fall are peak seasons across all species.

Cover & Structure

Lake Mexia is a very turbid, shallow lake, and the majority of good habitat is in the lower end of the lake. Boat docks, piers, and shallow aquatic vegetation hold fish year round.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass fishing is best around docks and vegetation using a variety of baits. Crappie fishing is excellent around docks, bridge pilings, and submerged brush using minnows. Catfishing for channels and blues is generally best tightlining with shad or cut bait, although prepared baits also work well. White bass are generally slow, with tailspinners and jigs producing modest catches around windy points.

Fishing Regulations

All species at Mexia Lake are managed under standard Texas statewide regulations.
