So nobody actually Bass fish Mountain Creek or just nobody want to admit it? The only lake in Texas I know of where you would run a chance of hitting an old fighter jet left in the upper shallows!

I have been told that there is no actual plane in the lake. Supposedly they put a tail fin from an old F-4 Phantom on a pole embedded into the lake bottom to scare the rookie pilots that were training at the old Grand Prarie Naval Air Station. Don't know if this is true or not though but the story of the entire plane sounds a lot more interesting...

i have grown up in GP all my life and i still say mt creek lake is the best lake to fish. i still swear on it. if you have a boat go there early spring and fish the rocks by the damn. if your ballzy you can park and tie off at the damn after a good rain but be sneaky and walk over the damn to the spill way. be careful cuz its private property but you can catch 4+lb crappie and 50+lb catfish. i was there about 3 years ago b4 i joined the army and was using a little Cleo spoon after the flood gate was opened up and i caught about 30 crappie and 20 catfish and i lost count of all the sand bass i caught. i had 12lb test and i caught a 67lb Flathead although the catfish had parasites and leaches on its head but it was a good fight. if you fish the rocks by the dam use a pearl 6in culprit worm. i have caught 10 pounders back to back. the north side of the bridge is anywhere from 7-15ft and at the dam its 37ft. on the south side where the plane is its only 2-5ft. if you go up in the channels by the golf course you on the south-side you can catch nice crappie and catfish and sandy s. BE CAREFUL tho!!!
by the run way @ night time you can catch crappie and cats and even alligator gar if you tie off and use goldfish and dead shad. by the dam if you stay west you can see were there is a old boat house you can also go there and catch crappie and bass and cats. I have not caught nor tried to catch buffalo or carp. i have seen 18 lb bass come out of that lake and mounted on walls!!! I am not fibbing nor telling fishing stories. my biggest bass was caught by the golf course which was 13.8 like i said mt creek lake has a lot of potential just be very careful and do not go there in the heats of the summer. the Exxon power plant uses the water to cool the turbine generators and that lake will get to 90+ degrees and its hard to keep your motor cool on the boat and hard to catch fish cuz they're constantly moving or in the deep water by the damn and they aren't hungry. spinner baits and fluke worms work well during the spring @ the runway as well. i still fish the golf course when i get the chance when i come home to visit every once in awhile. i have seen people eat fish out of there and talked to old ladies that say they have eaten the fish out of the golf course and lake for 40 years. the golf course is connected to the lake as well so they are supposedly contaminated too.
