Reba Bass Lake Fishing Guide, Cameron County, Texas

• Overview

  Look for Reba Bass Lake in Cameron County, Texas. It lies 33 feet above sea level. It runs to roughly 36 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Around 1.1 miles of margin, front to back. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Texas listings. For a base, La Feria sits 2.4 miles out. Brownsville sits 25 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Reba Bass Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include blue tilapia, blue catfish and common carp. Take it as evidence of what swims here, not a promise for one session. On Reba Bass Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 85°F in August and bottom out at 58°F in January. Fish feed through every month here. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Plan around that when you fish Reba Bass Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. La Feria Reservoir sits 3.5 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Reba Bass Lake locally before you travel.
