Or you can fish a Scum Frog injected with a stick of TNT (red in color). May want to break out the 14' crappie pole for this one; remember "Safety First". Place tip in water to get him headed in the right direction, use Wal Mart's Best mono cuz you know that stuff will snap easy. break out Zippo lighter and send his arss deep. If your frog looks back at you with a smile on the way down you may have picked up the Fag Frog instead of a Scum Frog.

Make sure you get the right kinda' frog!!!!

We won a tourney i think a few years back that way.But your right all but if the frog winks as he looks back."your in deep cacha".lmao

Man for such a small lake we got this topic up to five pages! ON!!!!!!!

This one is just to get my post count up.

LOL believe it or not,last march and april,when i started the wensday night tourneys,and posted the weights of the 9-12 lb fish that was being caught out there.The lake has been getting alot of publicity,not to mention everyone thinking if they show up,they would catch a 10 pounder.lol

Where is this lake at y'all are talking so much about. I need to get out there and catch me a ten pounder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't????

I use to fish that lake alot,and maybe 1 or 2 times have i been skunked.The lake does get pressure,but they still bite,just not what everybody is throwing.I know of 5 guys that throw jigs,5 guys that throw carolina rigged brush hogs,5 guys cranking the dam,5 guys throwing wacky worms,5 guys throwing drop shot's,and the guys who change there patterns and technique ussually catch them.I have learned alot and try to be versitile,but when they are on everybody catches them,but when they are off,only a few catch them.Lake is so small that the have seen every chigger craw made,every kind of brush hog,every color crank and spinner bait made,and once they have been hooked a few times they learn,so we change up our technique's and pattern and ussually always find keepers,somedays alot of short fish and just one or two keepers,but we find them.So everybody should quit crying on how much pressure the lake gets,and just think of the opprotunity's that was brought to the area.Cleburne,Eagle Mountain,Grapevine,Granbury,almost every lake that holds a bass,will be used as a playing field for the hunter and the hunted.It's a small lake and everybody can catch a good fish,just remember to put him back for a fellow fisherman to have his day,just like you did.

Oh for sure. I always catch atleast one. And me living right down the rode i hit it once a week, if not more. And i catch them in a different spot on different baits every week.

That is my home lake and I love it , I usually catch them , usually a senkoe or fluke

works for me but I also crank and worm , and I have a few spots I carolina rig that nearly always produce for me , sometimes keepers sometimes not but I am happy to catch to catch them

Not sure about what boat hero fisherman fishes out of but I see $BassSlayin'JP$ there all the time. Keep moving, keep changing baits, and keep putting them back for everyone else to enjoy!! And for that 50' deep hole, I've lived here since '72 and it doesn't exsist. 10+ pounders do though!!! Hot pink worms at the dam...HaHaHa.

I fish out of a Champion not a bass slayin JPS

Hero fishes out of a Champion

Hero you live here on the lake?

No I do not live on the lake but I do try to

visit it three to four times a week , I live in

town and am blessed as I get to do something I

love , I am not suppose to be here I had a

brain tumor removed in 95 but the Lord has blessed

me and my sons

Team Cabelas do you live on Alvarado Lake ?

I have been fishing Alvarado for about ten years I still haven't caught my ten pounder yet haha. I went yesterday for a couple hours caught a few on the dam, well my wife did. Just found this post good read. Thats awesome Hero glad your still here doing what you love.

I amm also glad I am here and so proud of my

two sons who live with me they are 14 & 16 and

they both love to fish , their mom left shortly

after my surgery , both can run the boat as well

as load and unload it

Cool hope to see you out there one day I fish there pretty often haven't had the chance the last two months but I plan on hitting it a couple times a week again.

Josh it would be nice to meet you sometime , what

kind of boat do you fish out of ? And I will

admit to you I am not a fishing hero but a hero

to my boys because of what I went through and

raising them , thats just a screen name

I have a 1988 champion with a prov150 its not too pretty but it gets the job done.Haha

My Champion is a 96 with a 150 Mariner , likewise

mine is not in showroom condition but it does what I

want it to do and that is to let me fish

glad I got on this forum and found this topic. alvarado has been haunting me, but I always fished it on horrible weather days. That lake looks so good and I've seen so much activity just never got into em like I thought I would. I live in Cleburne, so I'll be out there again soon. Thanks for the tips everybody.

aggie - I have figured out when the water has been muddy I try to find clean water, but when that fails I go super shallow throwing a big bladed spinnerbait or even a buzzbait. This has helped me out on the days I thought I would get skunked on Alvarado.

If that doesn't work out fish the 60' holes on the west end of the lake with the pink Banjo Minnow.

Good luck,
Steve

Hahaha, I might just START with the 60' holes first. Sounds like a damn good strategy. I just hope the depth finder doesn't explode trying to locate em.
