Lake Mexia near Mexia: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Lake Mexia in Limestone County, Texas. It stands 449 feet above sea level. The water covers around 972 acres, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. The perimeter runs near 12 miles, so plan the walk before you start. Nothing else we list in Limestone County covers more water. 7.1 miles away sits Mexia, the nearest town. Groesbeck lies 10 miles off, Wortham another 12 miles. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lake Mexia

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists gizzard shad, white crappie, bluegill and threadfin shad. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. At Lake Mexia light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 46°F to 83°F. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. At Lake Mexia the season follows that pattern closely. A grey, mild day is often better than a bright, still one.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Baines Creek, 5 miles away. The position on Lake Mexia is worth confirming on the day.
