there never around 5 to 6

There may be a few that size but not many.

what do u think the bigest cat is out there

Isaw one last year that was about 8lbs or so. I just take my bass rods out there. Sometimes I will take my spinning rod out there with 8lb test, just to have some fun. Some people use gear out there that is way overkill to me.

Watch your stuff when you go out there. We had a pole stolen, I had it behind me against a tree by the pump house for the fountain. It's sad when you can't even keep your stuff near you. On another note, I'm sure i'ts pretty fished out right now as far as catfish, the Kids derby, the undesireables that catch 30 at a time... Someone said they were catching panfish.. Do you mind if I ask what you were using? I'd love to catch some out there, just never thought of it.

We used small chunks of hot dog and were catching the panfish on the parking lot side of the pond.

I will more than likely be out there tonight around 6 or so with my son and possibly my niece.

Also, I was using the regular DK punch bait, maybe I should pick up a tub of the garlic???

We usually do good with cheap cheap hotdogs for the catfish, no problems there, but I'm gonna try the panfish, never see anyone really fishing out there for those

were is the best place to fish there

Sounds like it will be busy out there tonight since everyone knows they are restaking the pond. I believe me and my little man will be down there tonight as well unless something changes between now and then. Won't be till maybe a little after 6 if not a little later by the time we will be able to make it out.

Swamp Donkey you are correct about the size. As for stocking it, it usally happens late afternoon. Atleast the other 4 ponds do. One in Dallas Co. and 3 in Tarrant. The latest I seen them doing it has been 6:30 or 7:00. As early as 4:00. I would not even dream of going tonight. It will be shoulder to shoulder out there tonight. This whole week should be ok fishing, but I think it gets slow by the following week due to it being ovrfished. You can get on the txpwd website and there is a contact on there that can aswer questions about the stocking details of the 4 ponds. I am hitting Bob Jones in a day or so durring my lunch break to see if I can get some kitties. I caugt a decent one there last week in about a ft of water on shrimp.

Heh, I will try to take a head-count tonight.

I am going to set the mark at 30 over/under. Taking bets...
lol

Let me think about this. your guessing 30? I may just sit at home and actually do my school work and tell the little man that we will have to go tomorrow night if it will be that packed. never been on a day they stock the ponds. Make a deal with the man.. he ride the bike and I run with the dog? Maybe drive by first

hey fishin'aholic2 i saw u today and gave u my catfish.

t

It was great to meet you Tyler. You and your dad were killing them. Thanks again for the fish.

I left with a NICE limit after about 3 hours of fishing. Caught them on shrimp and hotdogs. All on the south end of the pond. Threw quite a bit back also.

Since a few of us obviously fish at Chisholm Park. I know that some of you go out there regularly. Maybe we all could have some sort of get together for us and our kids? Or maybe we could all show some sort of colors to signify that we are on this forum. Something like a bandana worn visible somewhere. Something of that nature. Just an idea.

I was thinking more of like a hand sign thrown up to every guy out there!! if they aint throwin' up the TFF hand sign then we take them out?

My smallest kid has that down no problem

have u cleaned them yet

I was there, too. I tried two kinds of punch bait, and not a single bite. Were you guys using floats or were you on the bottom? It seems that everyone there was catching some except for me. Next time I'm going to throw some hot dogs.

we were the two guys by the parking lot
.the 1st parking lot was right behinde us.we caught 8 keepers.we were using shrimp.it was me and my dad we were next to some old guys.we were fishing on the bottom

I think I saw you. Did you leave relatively early (just before 8 or so)? I was next to the parking lot with my wife and two children.

ya i left at 6:30

This sounds a lot like Greenbriar Park in Ft worth. They stocked it last night as well. Everyone that caught fish came on shrimp and hot dogs. Just like this pond. I was using shrimp but did not get but 2. Most that were catching a lot were using bobbers. I did not have any bobbers. Dont know bout Chisolm, but I did not see a single small fish caught at greenbriar.
