From the bank find river access and deep holes.

I usually get them at the park located at the end of bosque. But haven't been in a while so I don't know how bad debris is .

About threw my arm off at Brazos park east. All I caught was a rusty hook. And the dog cut his paw on a piece of glass. Did a little touch up with super glue and he was good to go. Caught 5 fish total. Small channel. Two 2lb and a 4 lb blue. Then a awesome 12.52 lb 31.5 inch blue. All on punch bait. Aj
ll released.

Not that I know of. I always go to walmart for livers or dip bait. I catch everything else myself. I know lake waco, bosque and the brazos pretty well around here. Maybe if u know of land markers or buildings?

Go to the spill way. If they are still letting water out the shad are there. Go downstream from the rocks but before the bridge.
