Went to Maxey this morning as well. Didn't catch a thing. My aunt caught a carp and a perch but that's it. So if you're looking to catch some cats Maxey should be primed for it soon. As far as I know not a single one was caught.

When fishing in Lubbock, I'm looking to catch any kind of fish!

What did they stock Maxey Park with?

catfish

@Outlaw Josey Wales: Are you talking about the waters next to mae simmons park?

Hi all, Im new to this board and the Lubbock fishing community. Im down here from Alaska to go to Tech.
I am looking to land some LM bass in the area. Haven't tried too many places. Checked out the Canyon Lakes today, but didn't have any luck. From what I understand it is pretty hit-or-miss. If anyone has some good LM bass advice i'll take it!

also, My wife and I fished for some catfish tonight at the playa off of 69th and slide. we were only there about 20 minutes, but We had a few bites and landed about a 2 lb cat. We were using night crawlers mostly. just some good catch-and-release.

Welcome to Lubbock and TFF! Best place to catch LMB is probly Lake Alan Henry. Not very fishable from the bank though, it's mostly canyons. If you have a boat you can catch bass pretty easy out there. The lake is just south of Post about 1 hour 15 minutes from Lubbock. If you are staying in town and fishing from the bank, the canyon lake system is your best bet. It's tough fishing by there are bass in there, just have to be patient.

Has the pond in Mahon park been refilled and restocked?

You mean the little one off Chicago by TCU? I think the rains this year have refilled it. The only stocking I've heard of this year was at Maxey Park for the kids day.

Caught two bass today at Dunbar lake with a T-rigged watermelon/red flake u-tail. Guy out there said the fish have been biting good all summer.

Fished the canyon lake off E. 19th St. this AM. Think it's Mae Simmons... Whatever it's called, it more like a creek and it's rhythm before Dunbar. Caught three on a white/chartreuse spinner bait. Missed one, but was happy with the result. Never been here before and I'm glad I stopped. More scouting to do this week. Saw some other good spots from the road.

Has anyone fished that lake right off of the Loop between Indiana and University? I sometimes see it being fished as I drive by and I just moved into some apartments next to it and I am wondering what lives in there or if it is stocked with Cats, Bass, etc...

If you are talking about the one off the south loop I believe it's called Stone Lake. Haven't fished it yet. When the weather warms up I'll give it a shot. I know they fished a body out of it a couple years ago though.
