I know around where i live you can fish pretty much every where. We do have a few city lake that make you wear waders and you can only go out as far out as you can touch the bottom:(. but other than that you can fish them where ever and how ever you want.
There are lots of "ponds" around to fish. We on occasion go to Ray Roberts, Grapevine, Cleburne, Aquilla and any others that has coves where you can get out of the wind. fishbrain would have a bigger list than me, I stay close to home most of the time
my fav is this farm pond i know about the owner lets me fish it cause i only take enough for a meal or two and i love the crappie from this pond they just taste sweeter lots of shore line cover so fishing from a tube is about the only way to fish it.it's what got me started tubing in the first place
