A much closer and probably a better area might be Ray Hubbard... Give it a look as well, I see a lot of success from the banks out there since there is more access to some really well vegetative areas where the fish are! Good luck! Ray Hubbard is about 15 minutes from Downtown Dallas to the East.
I have fished Ray Hubbard a bit in my boat. The best area for largemouth and Hybrid, from the highway on the South side, if you launch from the Marina at Bass Pro, go south towards the Electric Plant and there is an inlet on the west side that goes back about a quarter mile into an area where all banks are covered in high reeds out to about 2ft of water and then lily pads. The water is shallow, but you should be able to navigate it with a trolling motor. I have had lots of success back there with both Texas Rigged worms (motor oil or watermelon) in the reeds and lily pads as well as shallow swimming crank baits outside the reeds into deeper water. Right now the bass will be in about 20-25 feet of water so stick to the middle of the inlets and coves, you will probably hit the hybrids out there, but come spring time, the areas I first mentioned are gold!
White Rock lake is not great, but you will have fun bank fishing there I guess... I see a tone of people doing it but not catching anything! I recommend heading out to Lake Lavon or take a short drive out to Lake Fork, about a 50 minute drive from downtown Dallas. THATS where you will find some nice Bass action, however on both those lakes mentioned, a boat is the best method to reach the big fish... Have fun, tight lines!

Hey Guys, Headed to Tawakoni over memorial day weekend. Have not been to Tawakoni in quite a while and looking for hot spots! We are staying at 429 in the southwest end of the lake. Have a boat and will fly some, but not too far... Will go out around Black Point and out to Finger Point and around the state park and in between... Hunting whatever will bite! What to use? I hear Mepps spinners #4-5 in Chartreuse is attracting hybrids and white... What else!? Thanks !
