I started the morning off fishing for stripers, and had a little luck, but nothing worth getting excited about. After a while I switched to my light spinning gear and tried my luck with the sandies. They were thick below the dam. I probably caught 20-25 in about an hour. I was using a Rooster Tail, but you probably could have thrown anything in the water and caught some fish. I did catch a couple more striper with my light gear, and that was a blast! All in all it was a good day on the water, and not too shabby for a noob when it comes to chasing scaly fish.

Also, one of the guys that had gotten there early had a 19 pound striper he caught. That thing was a hoss!

Did you get to the dam area by parking at camp ground or did you gol from the ramp by going through the fish hatchery ?

I drove up there Saturday seen people from the dam to the bridge with lines crossed and kayaks everywhere and I turned around and left.

I was parked at the camp area. It cleared out around 9 in the morning or so when some search and rescue guys were doing some training. They didn't have an issue with me fishing though. I caught most of my fish later in the day when I waded across to the opposite side and fished the calmer water.

I've been a few times in the last two weeks or so. Every time it's like Denison. There's fish but unless you want crossed lines and fighting for a spot, it ain't worth the climb.

I caught two 14lb striper down by bridge the other night off shad. I've been fishing it for last month since the lake got so muddy but it's seriously overcrowded now.

The more you dudes post, the larger the crowds.

If you want 60 Asian's there with the bobber rigs, keep it up. They got family to feed!

He said it. lol

Too late, I'm already out there with my family and military brothers. Bobber on for those stripers.

I just want to know where everyone is when its 18 degrees outside? Cause im out there. There were fisherman on two foot centers last time I went .

I'm Asian and I take no offense to the comment cause it's sad but true. lol

If we can't fish and have fun without getting offended why are we fishing

Feet on!

Dan X

What about the 50 white dudes that were in the second pool casting into the same spot the other day?

Yea there was like 20 guys all standing in that pool and me and a buddy strolled by in jet boat and dropped live bait in front of them and pulled out two big ones in 15 mins. Most those guys had been fishing there for hours and not caught much that day.

Death by internet. Just like all the other areas of the Brazos we grew up fishing.

To top it off, the same people who broadcast on here end up being the ones complaining about how crowded it is.

I was referring more to the larger crowds. I'm no racist. I hate everyone equally.

You got that right. Lol

Yes some of us are fisherman even when our tootsies are cold.....

Ok Dan X maybe you can be a social commentator for me. I finally got me a nice surf rod and I said now I just need to find an Asian dude to teach me how to cast it. I meant it as a compliment as I see Again dudes launching weighted bombers about a nautical mile. I was told that was a horrible thing to say....what say you sir? And can you teach me how to cast with a surf rod? Lol

Went today after work.... One word

Crowded

The secret is that we're Asian. It's a game of numbers, math, and calculations and we're just born naturally good at math.

Me too. I'm over it. It's crazy how so many people go down there now. Ntm they aren't letting water out so it's gonna suck anyway. Unless you don't mind going down there and catching 7 fish.

Bad spot. Don't waste your time going there
