Guys, me and a buddy are wanting to catch some smallies. We haven't ever caught one and it's on our list. Where can we catch some big ones in or close to Texas? I know big might be a relative term when they pump out 5lb plus up north but I really don't know what to expect. I always hear they like the cold better so is winter the best time or some other time? I'm really not looking for spots, baits, etc. I would appreciate any help, but give me a lake name and I will catch them.

Don't know how far you want to drive but I like Broken Bow Lake (OK) for smallies.
To whom much is given, much is required.

Broken Bow and lake Murray are my favorites. The brownies are lots of fun and good fighters but 5 lb'ers are rare around here.

Lake Belton has some good smallies. Best place for smallies I know of in central Texas.
