I heard from a few friends that last week they were seeing lots of post on a Facebook kayak fishing group that Hamm creek above lake Whitney was producing large numbers of crappie, sand bass and stripers.

All the female sandbass I caught last week at Whitney had eggs in them ....
Not ready, But they are filling out ..........

lets keep talking about it online so the whole metroplex comes out!

i don't get why people want to tell the world where they are catching fish. hope you enjoyed that day. between the talk and the guide pictures getting posted, I'm sure it will be fished out and crowded by this weekend.

Point taken.

Hamm Creek tomorrow

Gotta love social media! The genie is out of the bottle!

Easy access to an area is more the issue. Fish those places that are hard to get to or overlooked and you can fish alone if that's the way your boat floats. We all keep secrets but I think of this forum & the internet in general, as a way to meet people much like myself with the same interests and concerns. Fishing is not competitive to me as much as it is a cooperative endeavor to be passed down to the next generation. I'm not hungry or poor so I fish & hunt for entertainment mostly but keeping the skill set sharp is important "if or when" the "poop hits the fan". I will survive without the internet but no one else will know where or how I will do that..

Most places require a Yak or boat to get to the really good spots unless you know a creek that is easy access.
Most people want to just walk in & catch fish & go home but, those places are hard to find unless they do their homework.
Most of us have our secret honey holes & competition is a minimum.

I don't ever give exact location which is why I only give general info.
Don't worry about the potlickers because they'll always come up short compared to those of us that have done our homework.

Plenty of fish for everyone.

Yes there are!
Fishing with crowds is going to be the name of the game. You will get a chance to help others and give instruction to the novices and you will have to just kind of bite your tongue when you run into those who are inconsiderate slobs.
you have to remember you are out there to have fun and with the crowds you will at times maybe have to move to keep having that fun.
What I can never get used to is the people who throw their trash out on the bank rather than carry out what they brought in, and figure someone will come behind them and pick it up!
I try to pick up after them, but it can be overwhelming.

I'm not catching any of my fish there ....
And I'm catching lots of them, and big ones ........
There are big fish all over the lake .....And plenty of them .......

Not sure why peeps get so upset, after all this is a fishing forum. The heading for the forum is "The best place in Texas to talk fishing".
