Hit Whiterock Lake today at 2:00 PM. I wasn't sure how the water would look after the rain, but decided to give it a whirl. I never do well when the water is chocolate milk. I got there and it looked muddier than I like and almost changed my tactics. Glad I didn't. On cast number 5, I hit a 7lb'r on my XTools scale. One hour later I hit a 4.4 lb'r. Two really good fish for Whiterock. It was drizzling when I got there so I left the cam in the car, at least I had my cell phone. The 4lb'r had me so excited I forgot to take a picture of it! Those were the only two bites I had in an hour and a half. I'll take it!

Nice largemouth!

nice fish..........

Not possible! According to conventional TFF wisdom, WRL and any and all "urban lakes" have only decaying human cadavers, needles, and trash in em! Surely you jest!

Rudy

I still believe there is just trash in there too!

been using pumkinseed and redbug lately but decide to use purple with a hot pink twister tail and got me 4 bass in 30 minutes . good catch racknfin .with this rain tonight , tommorrow will be a different story lol

ps its been a long time since i have caught any from that area you fished . got to give it another shot one day

Nice!

I've been fishing that same shore line a for the last few weeks. No 7 pounders, but I've been doing all right. Heck of a fish. Congrats. Do you catch any rubber boots or tires while you were out there?

J

nice fish

Don't forget the Lady in the Lake also!!!

Just throw it, I have not been catching anything over 3lbs for the last few weeks, it was about time. Last Saturday I broke one off with 15 lb P-Line!

been looking for that lady for 30 solid years ..still havent seen her !

I think I saw her going into PT's this morning.

ha ha!

Marc,
Wow, did a shutter go through my body when I read that. That was scary.
Great fish. I used to catch quite a few good fish in White Rock back in the 80's and 90's. Good to still see some nice one's in there.

THAT'S WAY COOL1 I LIVE 10 MIN FROM THERE BUT HAVEN'T FISHED IT IN YEARS.

Nice fish,
I caught about a 4lb bass last week. Seems like WRL is starting to turn on

I'd hate to sounds negative but I wonder if this fish is one of a few that were released for the tagged fish tournament they have every year. I have fished that lake and only saw 2 small bass pulled from that it.

Congrats man.

No sir, there are plenty bigger than that in there!

there is so many shad in that body of water that nothing surprises me about that 7lber . i have eyewitness fish being hooked that couldnt be turned to be brought in . of course they werent bass but theres plenty of food in there for them to get fat on .

Congrats on a fine catch.

Nice fish and Congrats.

How did you get the crack rock to stay on the hook?!?

J/K...I fish White Rock every chance I get. The last couple of times I went I whacked 'em on tubes in the cattails. A few nice 4 an 5 pounders and a bunch 13"-14".

We are going to be having a small waters tournament out there in August, if anyone is interested, check out the link in my sig.

Bassin'striper, keep me up to date on the tourney at whiterock. Can we fish out a boat or float tube? Individual or team?

Thanks,
Bryan

nice largemouth

At one time the state claimed during shocking survey's that White Rock Lake had more bass per acre than any other lake.

Well Gosh. I must have fished the wrong baits at the wrong locations on the wrong days.

I use to live only 5 minutes away. I wished I would have been more patient.

From that pic it looks like you got some nice filets off of her

You do eat the green trout dont you?

Only from ponds that have stunted fish or a rare river trip, I might eat one or two, thats it!

Nice Catch!!! Looks like you had a great evening.

Congratulations, & Good Fishin',

Anybody doing any good out at white rock as of late? I'm going to start trying to catch some bass out there and was looking for some tips. I have a 12' jon boat, but can't seem to find the fish.

nice football

It's a tough lake in the summer, fall, winter, etc. I like using big baits for the better fish and smaller baits for some #'s. You really just have to get lucky finding them. I haven't fished out there in over a month now, so I can't tell you whats happening right now!

i bet u got ate up by chiggars in the grass with crocs on!

NAW

Nice!

Believe it or not BASS held their Mega Bucks golf course type fishoff there two years in a row. After fishing RC for the qualifying days.

Nice!

wow....that's a HEALTHY FAT looking fish!

nice job!

Nice fish! I'm always amazed when I see reports of good fishing coming out of WRL. I grew up 3 blocks from Garland Rd., in Forest Hills, many years ago! Before I was born my grandfather worked nights for the DM News. He lived toward town and would ride the bus down to the spillway. He kept his poles under the house of a man, named Frank Buck, who lived just up the street from there. My Mom said that one day my grandfather brought home a huge catfish (on the bus). I used to ride my bike down to the lake just to look at it and wish I were fishing, but at that time, it would be a waste of time. At that time, there were mostly just shad and carp in the lake and it was very silted. My Scoutmaster, Pierre Fontaine, Director of the Dallas Aquarium (and later Zoo) told me there were too many fish in the lake. He explained to me (a kid then) that there was not enough food for them all and so they were stunted. Things have really changed. No, I never saw the Lady of the Lake either, but in high school (WWW)and College, I had the opportunity to watch the submarine races. Lots of memories! I understand that the lake was later dredged and stocked. Too bad I don't live there anymore! Maybe someday I will have the opportunity to fish the lake!

i know a couple of guys that come there on the bus ...lol one is from oak cliff and the other comes from the garland area
