Hey guys, I just moved to lake worth and need a few tips. I know it's not a popular lake but the boat permit is cheap and the ramp is down the street from my house. What areas should I fish and what baits do they normally hit? My buddy and I fished this lake on the 20th and got skunked with the exception of his lmb the size of his hand on a watermelon red flake baby brush hog shallow, and my bluegill that went after a crankbait larger than it's mouth. Any tips would be appreciated.

When all else fails tx rig docks with finesse worms and craws or make the 10 minute drive to Eagle mountain. I caught over 40 this past weekend.

I was at Lake worth last weekend and out of nowhere fish started schooling by the boat in the shallows. Threw my jig and caught a big Sandbass. Must have came from EM because I've never caught any that big in worth. The fry were everywhere too.

Finesse worms around the reeds and humps, and squarebills around the boat docks worked pretty good last weekend. At least it was pretty good for Lake Worth; I never can seem to light'em up there.

Can't go wrong fishing the bridges! Cranks, drop shot, and wacky. You'll get bit. That's on any lake.

I have never had good luck catching black bass there. I can catch some whites when trying to catch black bass and I can occasionally find the crappie.

Is there an annual boat permit for Eagle Mountain Lake? I'm 10 minutes from the twin points boat ramp but I just can't afford the increased launch fee if I am to go out Saturday and Sunday every weekend. I went out on EM about a month ago, just didn't know where to go on that lake either. On EM I was somehow able to lose not only 1 fish, but 3 on a squarebill, spinnerbait, and t-rigged brush hawg. That's all the action I had while my buddy landed 2 dinks. I appreciate all of the suggestions, I'll definitely give them a try this weekend. I know Lake Worth isn't a popular lake, which is why the annual boat launch is so cheap. You just can't beat $20 for the year especially when it's $20 for 1 day at EM.
