Lake Nocona has 1 to 2 tournaments on it every weekend from late February to mid May. Me complimenting fellow fisherman for having a great tourney isn't going to be a problem. With the number of people fishing now there are not any secret lakes left. OH ivy still the king right these years.

The bent pole pattern internet style…

Attract anglers—->attract GWs—->attract TPWD—->attracts grass carp and spraying

Too far to drive.

I agree Mark. Heck Brownwood kicked out a 30 lb bag along with a few 20s this past weekend in Media and it is dink town normally.

Best early spring lake in north Texas. Been that way for a looooong time.

FIFY

Why? Why? Why?

I have friends who catch big fish and big stringers. I congratulate them personally, not on the internet.

Nocona will be fine, it's still a mud hole Congrats to the winners

The ultimate was a few years ago. Someone started a thread titled "BLOODBATH ON XXXXX". He talked about all the fish he and his buddy had caught on this small lake, complete with pictures of both the fish and his bloody thumb from unhooking them. Within a week or so you couldn't have wedged another boat on the water with a shoehorn.

I guess he never intended to fish there again.

Has the hydrilla returned?

no sir

They all produce 30lb bags at the right time, dont see a problem here...Ive caught plenty out of fork go check it out.
