First light, we'll meet you at the dock, coffee in hand. Our trusty bass boat's all gassed up and ready to roll. We'll zip out to some prime fishing grounds – could be working points, hitting submerged timber, or finessing those deep drop-offs. Fall's when those big girls start packing on the pounds for winter, so they're hungry and on the move. Water temps are perfect, and the fall bite can be explosive. We provide all the top-notch gear, but feel free to bring your favorite rod if you've got a lucky streak going. Don't forget a camera – you'll want proof when you're telling fish stories later!
Fall fishing's all about reading the water and matching the hatch. We might start the day throwing big topwater lures – nothing gets the blood pumping like a monster bass blowing up on a buzzbait at dawn. As the sun climbs, we'll likely switch to crankbaits or spinnerbaits to cover water and find active fish. If they get finicky, we'll slow things down with some finesse techniques. Depending on the day, we might be drop-shotting deep structure, working a jig through submerged timber, or skipping soft plastics under docks. Our guides have years of experience on Ray Hubbard and know how to adapt on the fly to put you on fish.
Lake Ray Hubbard's got a reputation as one of the best bass lakes in North Texas, and for good reason. It's close to Dallas but feels a world away once you're on the water. The lake's got a great mix of structure – from flooded timber to man-made brush piles and plenty of rocky points. That diversity means the bass fishing stays solid year-round, but fall... man, fall's when things really heat up. The cooler weather puts those bass on the feed bag, and double-digit fish are always a possibility. Plus, you can't beat the views of the changing leaves reflecting off the water. It's the kind of day that'll have you checking the calendar for your next trip before we even hit the dock.
Largemouth Bass: The king of the lake and our main target. Ray Hubbard's largemouth can grow to trophy sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not unheard of. In fall, these predators go on a feeding frenzy, bulking up for winter. They'll chase baitfish into the shallows, creating exciting topwater action. But don't sleep on the deep bite – some of the biggest bass hold on offshore structure this time of year. Largemouth are known for their explosive strikes and powerful runs. When a big one hits, hold on tight – it's gonna be a wild ride!
While we're laser-focused on largemouth, Ray Hubbard's got a few bonus species that might make an appearance:
White Bass: These sporty fighters often school up in the fall, chasing shad to the surface. If we stumble on a feeding frenzy, it's non-stop action. They're not as big as largemouth, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and fight.
Catfish: Ray Hubbard's got some monster cats lurking in the depths. While we're not targeting them specifically, don't be surprised if you hook into a whisker-faced giant while working a deep-diving crankbait along the bottom.

Largemouth bass are the kings of Lake Ray Hubbard. These big-mouthed predators average 1-4 pounds but can grow much larger. You'll find them lurking around submerged timber, weed edges, and boat docks. They're ambush hunters, so work those edges carefully. Spring and fall are prime times when bass move shallow to feed. But even in summer, you can catch them deep with the right tactics. Nothing beats the excitement of a big largemouth smashing a topwater lure at dawn. These fish put up an impressive fight, especially on light tackle. Their acrobatic leaps and powerful runs make them a favorite for catch-and-release anglers. If you're keeping a few for dinner, smaller 1-2 pounders taste best. One local tip: When the bite is tough, try slow-rolling a spinnerbait along deeper points. The flash and vibration often trigger strikes from inactive fish. With some patience and the right presentation, you've got a good shot at hooking into a Ray Hubbard lunker.
