I live in Cypress,TX.... Are there any ponds near good for fishing?

Tons of them. Ditches and creeks too.

Don't tell nobody...but I know for a fact the muddy lake in the Bridgeland subdivision park has some absolutely huge white crappies in it. Along with a lot of large common carp, blue and channel cat, mudcat, big ole grinnel, gasper gou, amongst others.

A grinnel we caught and released from the muddy lake in the pic.




The clear lake has bass and sunfish.

There are several lakes just there. Then you got Cypress Creek, and who knows how many ditches, ponds and such around. All of 'em gots fish of some sort. 'Course rules and such gotta be followed....which ones are good and which ones aren't so good, well you gotta fish and keep records. That's what we done, fished and kept records.

Here's some of our gear:

Not exactly in your back yard but the The Woodlands has plenty of lakes and ponds to fish: http://www.fishinginthewoodlands.com/

Nice web site for The Woodlands fishing. I stocked most of those ponds beginning in 1981.

Lake Woodlands was stocked in 1981 with bass, channel and blue cat, sunfish, and shad. I put about 20,000 bass in there four years ago and they've been showing up in catches of late. Lake Woodlands had a common carp die off about five years ago from KHV but the carp fishery has recovered since. When electrofishing Lake Woodlands we'd find bass and catfish tight to any structure there was, 'cause there ain't hardly none in the lake. But find a tree limb, rock pile, or anything else giving relief from the bottom and fish will be tight to it.

Now they don't 'llow no fishin' in Lake Robbins, Kirby Pond, or The Waterway, but there are some good fish in those waters and I see folks fishing them regularly. Not heard of any arrests...

Then it ain't all that far to my neck of the woods....Brazoria County is full of places to fish, salt and fresh, public and private.

Almost any bayou that holds up to 5ft of water has fish in it. Been surprised what I have caught in some of these ponds.
