Anybody hit bowie lately?

Went to bowie for the time last week and caught a 2 3/4 lb.bass on my first cast. Fished another hour and half and had 3 or 4 hits but missed em. Went again this Monday (2-11) and nothing.
By the way, where do you guys park when you go there?

I park over on sherry street,next to the house with the boat(his name is Eddy)
or go accoss by bowie high school and jump the curve and drive down by the inlet.

I'm new to the Metro Plex, I live in NRH, are there any bass ponds in the North Ft. Worth area? I have fished the lake at Keller Town Center with little success, any suggestions on tactics or new locations will be greatly appreciated.

Anyone ever fish the small lake at the southwest corner of Loop 820 and Denton Hwy in Haltom City?

Is it public land?

I doubt that it is public land but I don't know. It looks like people may have been accessing the water on the north side of lake where there is a vacant field between a service station and a motel. I didn't see any keep out signs.

Are there bass in there? I'll have to go check it out. Let me know how you did if you go out there.

Does anyone know the story on the lake off 820 South? The one one with all the wakeboard ramps in it. It looks like it could yield some bass.

Are you talking about the one on the west side of 820 just north of the Trinity river? If so, I was by there a while back and saw signs that indicated they don't want you there.
There is a boat dealer just to the north of the lake and they may either own it or have exclusive rights but I'm not sure.

It is public land. You can park there in the Chamber of Commerce parking lot to fish there. But all the times I have fished it I've drawn a blank. Nothing bites. But then I have heard of other people fish and have caught something. It's usually stocked by the locals around there.

ya, thats the one im talking about. i guess since it is public, i'll give it a shot. probably after this front blows through

thanks for the info.

A-RON, I think the one AnglerMoore is talking about is the one at 820 and Denton Hwy. The one on 820 by the Trinity river has private property no trespassing signs all over the place.

Time to hit Bowie Again!
Who's going this weekend?

Maybe I will head out this weekend and take the pond buster!

Say Rod, what bait are you using out there? I have tried worms with minimal success, stink bait, minnows, and shrimp but haven't landed any keepers?

Me and my son use senko's,creature baits,flukes,and my favorites Stanley ribbit frogs!

You should also fish for Crappie!
Me and my son have caught many small ones,plenty of nice slabs have come out of there as well!
we have used many types of jigs and colors!
Good Luck!!

Is that the pond behind Walgreen?

Great afternoon for my 14 year old and I. 74 bass by dark. Largest were 2.5-3.25 range. 16 acre pond that belongs to a friend. My son was pumped. Spinnerbaits, Snagless Sallys, poppers mostly. A few on crankbaits. Water 69-70. Rough thumbs and great memories!
