At I35 and Highland Village Rd. (Just S. of the bridge over Lake Lewisville) is a small lake, about 10 acres or so. It has been there for many years and looks quite fishy. Copperas Branch lake. http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&oe=I....01236&t=h&z=16

It's a park and is open to the public. I think it would be fun to fish it on a Sunday afternoon soon as a group. Open to all TFF or anyone else, from Tubes, Water wagons, bank walkers, whatever. No big boats are allowed. I'm sure we could get some small prizes donated. Would be fun and a good place to bring your kids if you want. (also a good way to find out if it's a good spot to fish)

What do you think?

Ernest,
Great idea! And typical of the spirit of the TFF at its best, in my opinion. I've long been impressed with the openness and unselfish character of many who post here.
Wish I could join you, but I have to work Sundays.
Just wanted to send an atta-boy!

sounds like fun, i'm having withdrawls from not having my boat up here

Ernest, all i have ever caught outta that place is them things you call green trashfish! But it sure looks like a crappie hilton to me! never put any flotation vehicle in it, just walked the banks. Some big water snakes there for sure.

This does sound like a great idea and I'd be
interested depending of course on date.
Weekends can be busy times for us, as I'm
sure they are for alot of others.


PK

Ill prolly go.

I have had so many snakes chase me on that little pond.




-Z-

That's a nice little pond.

ok then i prolly wont go

It does look like it could produce some really nice sized SNAKES, good luck with ya'll

If y'all think the slight chance of snake bite would
cause me to miss the chance to fish along side the
esteemed ERNEST PATY, you're crazy.

PK

I'm in!

hate snakes

a snake is just another one of God's creatures, vital to the procession of life on the planet. each plays his part in the grand scheme.

Rudy

So when do youw anna do this?

I hate snakes, and don't care for anything that crawl and can bite you. Sound like fun though, should set this up like a small tourney for multiple species. That will bring in a lot donation and lots of family member can also have picnic up there while fishing for prices.

Set up the date and we will bring float-tube and fishing pole(s)

Tournement? Donations? Prices?
I thought we was just going to
show up and fish?
No thanks.
3 things I don't do competativly:
Fish
Hunt
Eat

Have fun

PK, I agree with you there. I thought they were talking about all of use getting together to fish and shoot the bull. Maybe had a little cookout if we wanted. Especially since they brought up the idea about bring kids there also.

Not a tournament, just for fun and I did mention donated prizes for biggest fish but that was just and idea. No one donated anything anyway. Still working on it, May go soon.

Ernest, keep us informed. Might just be a lot of fun.

Sounds fun to me! Thank you Ernest for the idea. I've got a "new to me" bass buster type boat and this would be a great opportunity to come out and learn from the best! I have a friend with a kayak, and know she would come as well.

Keep us all posted on a date for this!

I am in also, be fun to meet some of the fellow TFFERS and of course do what we love to do, "fish" Just let us know when.

that does sound like a good time! Let us know when it gets scheduled!

I would be in either way $$$ or not. I like the idea, sounds great!!

Ok, so we have heard talk the talk, now lets us walk the walk. Lets get this get together off the ground. Will be great to meet other TFF bank fishermen for sure.
