What's your Home Lake?

What do you consider your Home Lake? Why? How often do you fish other bodies of water besides your home lake?
I consider Eagle Mountain Lake my home lake, a couple of reasons 1) it is one of the few lakes close to me that I can still get on 2) I think I have only been skunked once on EM and that was the 3rd time I was ever on the lake.
I have and continue to fish as many lakes as I can around the North/East Texas area, some of the other lakes I have fished are Benbrook, Granbury, Arlington, Squaw Creek, Fork, Acquila, Tyler, Amon Carter, Pat Cleburne, I may have missed a couple, but I will get to all of them as soon as I can.
Let's hear yours!

Choke for me, since I lived in Corpus as a kid. Now, I'd have to say Dunlap since I live less than a mile from it.
Wish I could say Falcon or Amistad, but Amistad is and will always be my home away from home...lake.

Hey, Chad, hows Dunlap doing? I may be headed out there friday for the first time, planning on taking the Yak out, and seein about pickin up some bass, is the catfish/crappie fishin out there any good?
also I think id have to claim Canyon, and Medina as my home lakes, Canyon because its my go to spot for crappie fishin, and for whites and stripers, caught some really nice fish out of there. Medina on the other hand is my catfish hole, my Best friend's dad lives out there, so we will go up there and spend an entire week just catchin catfish, we average in the 15lb range with our record being a 68lb flathead....calaveras is my stompin grounds in the spring tho....gotta love those reds

Lake grapevine. I fish it about twice a week. As far as other lakes, I fish about 8 trips at grapevine for every one trip elsewhere.

Rayburn, lived within a mile of it for 5 years and then moved to Lufkin. Now I am the same distance to Sam and Nac, tough choice trying to decide whether to go left or right onto the loop.

Conroe now, but I've not had a chance to go out in my boat more than a handful of times. I do know how to catch a few in the community areas of my neighborhood though...

Ray Hubbard is the closet to me so I guess I'd say it's my "home" lake. Others I have fished since I got my boat 2 years ago are Athens, Big Creek, Bob Sandlin, Coffee Mill, Cedar Creek, Cypress Springs, Davy Crockett, Fork, LOP, Lavon, Mill Creek, Monticello, Pat Mayse, Purtis Creek, Tankersly, White Rock, Wright Patman. Good topic... been wondering how many different lakes I've taken my boat to since I got it and this was the perfect time to add it up, 18. Happy  everyone!

Hubbard Creek and OH Ivie are my Home lakes. Bwood is closer, but I bypass it regularly.
I probably spend more time on Hubbard than Ivie.

Lake Weiss in Alabama will always be my home lake, but since I'm out here, I'd have to say Georgetown.

I lived in Rome *ran a guide service* for three years and fished the Etowah, Brushy Branch, Coosa, and Weiss daily
Caught lots of Striper, a 14.6 LM, and gigantic crappies as well as monster blues
Has to be the best kept secret in the nation
