I think I will have a run at this place Wed, Oct 4 after work. Say about 6pm? I welcome one and all to join me. I will be the guy in the grey carp brigade shirt. I will be targetting buffs and carp with the long rods and gar on the fly. I usually stay until 11pm or later.

change of plans since nobody was joining me. I think I'll hit meadowmere instead. Luna will still be there..

Someone Should Put Pic's Up Of This Place !

And Pic's Of The Fish In The Water !

I have put up pics of this place in the past, and pretty sure i have put up photos of the nice channel and blue cats i have caught there. maybe not the fish, not sure. but pics of the place, most definitely.

Rudy

I always forget to check topic.

when are you planning on going back?
I want to catch these fish you call carp

i know spots on this pond ...been fishng there for 5 years..catfish //use stink bait or chiken liver..on carp hehe ..bring what you think will work..what i do is chum four to six diff. spots and work my way through ..just get a hold of me ill show you..

i passed by this place yesterday, but i have no idea where to park or how to get to the river ?

help please !

If you are looking at the Hagger buildingfrom the street go park on the left side of the building and walk behing towards the water.

If there are cats, gar & carp wouldn't it stand to reason there would be bass?

Cats, Carp, and especially gar are all hardier fish then bass, and survive in conditions bass cannot.

However, that's not the case in this spot lol.

It's the Elm Fork of the Trinity. There are Largemouth Bass everywhere in that river lol.

Black Bass, Crappie, Sandbass, Yellow Bass, and yes even Hybrid Stripers, abound up and down the river, including this place! have caught some NICE Black Bass here, and some VERY, VERY NICE crappie as well!

Rudy

Oh yeah, and Kentucky Spotted Bass as well.

Oh yeah, and Kentucky Spotted Bass as well. The prettiest colored bass of em all!

Rudy

I'm there!!!

yea, i went to this place today but it really sucked beacuse first we saw some fish jumping but didnt catch anything and second we got caught up several time on tree branches on the bottom, how do u catch the gar at this place ? or any fish ?

snags is all i caught when i went there last year and havent been back since . your right james n .........w/r/j

About the only thing i have been "snagging" there lately is nice channel and blue cats, lol. and one nice hybrid!

Not sure exactly where you fish out there, its a big area, but I will admit, it is a river, with a current, and flowing water tends to move things around, as well as bring things from upstream and deposit them in wide or deep areas, like the area behind haggar.

I do snag up on occasion, but not enough to keep me from going back! the catfishing is just too good! and in the spring, the crappie are just to big and cooperative to ignore.

Rudy

Rudy, what bait do you use to catch the cats and what part of the river do u go to ?


PS. i found a shooting range somewhere close out there on the way home, guess i have to go shoot some skeet one day ! !

I went to haggar sat morning for about 1 and half hours I caught a sand bass, an lmb, a gar, and about a 6 lb blue cat on a live bream. I caught the gar and sand bass on a white rooster tail and the lmb on a panfish assassin with curly tail. I threw my net to try to catch shad, but only caught 2 big shad and 3 small bream.

lol jk James

My son and I fished it last week including Rainy Day Sunday ( 1 bass each per day, > 14") 4 days out of week.

On Sunday, - short bites... plastic worms and mini grubs w/curly tail...greenish black in color.

We'll try again today....

Compared to the Florida Large Mouth Bass, the bass are just slightly different.

Mouth not as wide...not a bronzeback, not Texas native 'guadalupe', not a kentucky spotted -

Texas NATIVE River Bass...is there such a thing?
