Hello.. I just signed up to this forum.. been reading it for a while.. but thought I would go ahead and join..
i Live in dallas but, own a house/property on the bend.. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for whites/hybrids/stripers on the lake...
I fish for them here in texas no problem, but that lake is soo big its hard for me to locate them.. seems all I do is burn a bunch of gas. :hairout:
next trip down is the 4th.. just want some of the family kids to get on some whites..
i am about center of the lake just south of the bride.
ever in the area stop by!! always music plain LOUD and LIVE:rotfl:
any help would be great Thanks!

its not a bad thing when crown is the problem...:smokin:
i use to troll for them down by the dam area and along the river channel...the old cofer dam just before the dam was a good spot and trolling along the rip rap at the dam area was good....Middle of the lake part around the bridge I heard was a good spot also...you may want to try the Blue Lake area too.....I sure some of the locals can get you going in the right direction.
I used to fish out of Ebarb with my ex-wife's grandfather. He lived on the river before it was a lake. We fished the old sand bars under the lake for white bass. Jigged big tube jigs on the bottom.
He knew the area pretty well. I never found crap without him.

i fish the lake for strippers it is aliitle slow and will be for the next couple of years. They just this year released a bunch in the lake. So what you do catch will be small. They are suppose to release so many a year.
