West Lake – A Premier Fishing Getaway in Henderson, Texas

On-Site Boat Temporarily Unavailable

NOTE - there is another landowner that owns part of the lake (you can see the fence line) and they are now starting to use the lake more often.  While still not likely, it is possible someone else could be fishing the lake while you are there.

Experience two outstanding lakes on this picturesque property:

  • East Lake (22 acres): Known for producing plentiful bass in the 3–8 lb range
  • West Lake (12 acres): Home to the largest bass ever caught on the property (14 lb 6 oz), and the lake most likely to yield double-digit catches

As you enter the gate, you’ll be greeted by a quarter-mile of blooming pear and crepe myrtle trees—a stunning welcome to your fishing adventure.

West Lake Highlights

  • 12 acres of prime bass habitat
  • Record catch: 14 lb 6 oz
  • High potential for fish over 10 lbs

East Lake Highlights

  • 22 acres with abundant 3–8 lb bass
  • Scenic surroundings and ample cover for fish

On-Site Boat Information

  • Although the 15-foot jon boat (with seating, hand-control trolling motor, and battery) is normally included in your reservation, it is temporarily unavailable at this time.

  • If you do end up using the jon boat in the future, the seats can be found in the trash can by the launch.

Nearby Amenities

  • No on-site lodging, but Henderson is just 6 miles away, offering several hotel options (including Holiday Inn Express).

Trolling Motor Tips

  • If you’re unfamiliar with bow-mounted, hand-control trolling motors, reach out to the club office for guidance on setup and use.
  • If the motor loses power, it may mean one battery is drained; simply switch the red dial from “1” to “2” or vice versa to continue fishing.

Whether you’re seeking trophy bass or simply craving a peaceful day on the water, East & West Lakes promise an exceptional fishing experience in a truly serene setting. Book your trip today and discover why these lakes are considered some of the finest in the region!

  • Gate Access: The electric gate will not open until 5:30 AM. If you have an AM or all-day reservation, you cannot enter before 5:30 AM.

  • Boat Status: On-site boat is currently unavailable.

  • Advance Notice: You must provide at least 24 hours’ notice to fish this site.
