When you have time to hit the north side of GV, you need to fish Murrel Park. The turtles won't bother you so much when you're fishing 20-30' of water just off the shore, hehehe.

justin thats funny lol just talking to Chris about fishing GL hahaha

Sweeet lol.

I'll be moving up to DFW for work and am interested in fishing Lake Worth. Any tactics/bait recommendations?

ah yes

well, sweet corn on a carolina rig with a #6 circle hook
is a great place to start

if you fish LW even more Sunset park you need to get their
early as the turtles move it and steal bait very often

im sure the turtle activity will slow dramatically as the
weather gets cooler and turns cold but till then early morning
is the best time to fish at LW so far

When you move here, send me a PM and we can meet for a session
sometime and i can show you and tell you a ton more stuff
about fishing, i can tell you all day long as well as anyone
else on this forum but it would be to both of our advantage
if i could just "teach" you in person

I do plan on fishing the lake at many other spots to try
and locate possibly bigger fish and areas with "deeper"
water

The lake is a shallow lake maybe running 30 ft deep or so
when its full, so the fish don't really have deep water
to run to. It just locating the fish when they are active
to be able to catch.

Wlcome to the forum!!!

hit us up sometime! we'll go wet a line!

Welcome aboard Foozball! Crago and company have caught quite a few carp out at Lake Worth, so I'm sure they can help you out. Take Crago's recommendations above to heart!

lake worth is back up and running! jeff should post pics in a bit!

yes, we found a surprisingly sweet spot today, no deeper than any other but sweet indeed!

Started the day off with this 16lb carp!!!

Im telling you guys, im pulling a 20 out of this lake before
the end of the year! I know there are some chunks in the lake,
i just got to find them!!!
BTW chris had one break his line due to reel malfunction but
it was every bit as big if not bigger!!!


Then Chris hit it up with these nice Buffs!
First one going 14lbs and the next going 15lbs



Just a quick question

Why do the Buffalo look so different?
With the body shape and all...

The same reason a chihuahua and a doberman do.

The same reason I, and Jennifer Lopez do.


Excellent catch, BTW. I like that lake,

Try some donkey chokers, at least on one rod to eliminate the small fish. It works. leave small baits on r others to keep the fun going.

?

The chihuahua and the doberman are "Canis familiaris"

J-Lo and I are both "Homo sapien"

Both of those fish are "Ictiobus bubalus"

They can look different.

makes sense. both were a great fight!

"The same reason I, and Jennifer Lopez do."

disturbing....

Congrats on the great captures Jeff and Chris, wtg! Hope that lake does hold a 20 for ya!

Good job guys. Jeff we have got to get together so that we can get you the lake record certified.. Looks like you are smashing the record on every trip.

Good job guys, congrats on the nice fish!

With all the teeners you guys have been getting, is it time to add this lake to Grapevine and WR as DFW's finest?

yes, Curt we do, i wanted so bad to get that weight certified bc it was such a solid fish! But i have found the spot i think, turtles didn't seem anywhere near as bad either considering i didn't have to rebait at all, chris did a few times but nothing to where i needed to fish with beads lol, Oh yes Grant, this lake holds a 20 my friend, and i will find it!

maybe not soo soon cyprinus but with all the bank access
i am finding on the lake, its a good possibility!

There are several more spots i plan on fishing, but this last one
was great!

i wish i would have gotten a close up of that 16lb fish though
it just looked old lol, its lips and stuff just seemed old
and beaten, idk but i think that fish has had quite some years
in that lake

Chris G. , how did the new rod pod work ?

good job guys . looks like im going to have to take a ride down there . got me 2 buffs at the rock today ,one was about 11lbs and the other got away 5 feet from the bank . couldnt really tell the weight on that one

cool Jesse got some bank space available at this location

I'm good for just about any day next week. Say the word and shoot me a link.

sounds good Curt, im going out of town of Friday till Sunday

So a day to relax, then hit it Tuesday?!

Let me know if that sounds good?

Tuesday would be perfect..
