Got a friend that just moved in some apartments off I-35 @ Western Center. There is a big creek that runs through, just wondering if anyone has fished this area and if so any did ya have any luck?

That place looks good, I may try it sometime. The only problem I see would be parking in the area. A lot of businesses have the towing sign.
Your friend is lucky to have a spot like that!

There are some pretty decent catfish in this river. Haven't fished it in a while though...

when the waters not rushing it's been really good to me. walked many of miles through that creek. my wife use to live off of western center. her boys & i used to go down there all the time. once pulled a 5# LMB from some tree roots near the golf course. you can expect to catch LMB, Perch, Rock Bass, and nice size carp. have seen a few cats when the water was clear. never targeted them there but id bet there are some good ones to be caught. when the water slows the creek gets really clear making it easy to sitecast. i mostly used a 1/4 ounce white/chartruse small spinner bait and walked in the middle of it where i could. BE CAREFUL! creek has a lot of snakes in the summer time. was chased out of the water once by a large watermocasin. very exciting experiance!

I fished it a couple times, just to kill time and catching BG. But once i went down there, and i guess the fishes were hungry cause we were catching crappie using raw chicken under the bridge. Craziest thing i ever seen. Nice cats under their too.

HAHA, no, he might have towed it off, though.(That's stealing isn't it?) I was parked in the parking lot near the cleaners.
