Sally Withers Lake, Texas: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  You will find Sally Withers Lake in Jasper County, Texas. The setting is warm green lowland. The water measures roughly 23 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. On our Jasper County list it sits near the top for size. Some 8.4 miles away sits Buna, the nearest settlement. Beaumont sits 30 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Sally Withers Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records collected within a few miles name dusky darter, spotted bass, threadfin shad and sabine shiner. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. On Sally Withers Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 82°F, with January the cold end at about 49°F. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Sally Withers Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. McGallion Lake sits 2.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Sally Withers Lake for certain.
