Ok, I will have to give that a shot! I live so close I could probably do that corn chumming technique mentioned above too. And I guess we shall see if I can produce something. Can you still have a pretty good chance at carp this time of year?

I've fished WRC in a lot of different places. I'd check out the Keller Springs Dog Park, park there and walk down. once you get to the deeper water you have a pretty good shot.

I've seen a few koi and carp in both ponds at the twin lakes. It takes a few trips out there and some baiting over a spot to see them some days.

There's carp in all 3 of the ponds at Breck

Ok pondbass, I guess I just need to put sometime into these areas and see what I can get, hopefully I can get something at one of these places!!!

Keep the questions coming- We'll figure it out.

I guess my only concern now is finding the fish. I'll get corn soon and I'll chum a bit on the south lake on twin lakes, we will see where that goes then. I have a zebco 33 with spiderwired 10lb test (just really got into fishing in june so I decided not to spend too much money at first) so hopefully that will work for now. If not then I'll need to wait till I get better tackle.

Early on we(my family) had quite a few 20#+ Buffs on Zebco 33s. They're great.

Ok than I am all set up! What size test line do you think I should rig on the 33? (I currently have spiderwire 10lb mono)

10# Is fine. Just make sure the drag is set kind of loose.

Don't prebait the fish with turkey; they'll fall asleep and you won't catch any.

Haha ok guys!

Sorry I'm a bit late on the draw on this one but I just hopped on the forum for the first time in months. It sounds like everyone educated you pretty well on techniques and equipment but I thought I'd give you some info on the places you were asking about.

I've fished Gibbons Creek below the spillway a couple of times. Nothing of size from my experience but I've caught quite a few carp and buffalo in the 3-5 pound range. They haven't released water in ages so the more "desirable" species (catfish, bass, etc) get fished out pretty fast but the carp and buffalo get left behind. Which is fine with me

Similar situation at Lake Bryan. Nothing of size from my experience but fun none the less. I've only caught carp but there are probably buffalo as well. Some of the deepest water you can reach from shore is under the bridge that crosses over where the two sides of the lake connect (google earth can explain it better than I can.)

George Bush Library supposedly has some very nice bass and really large sunfish but I've only ever fished it with lures quickly between classes. Only caught one bass of about 3 pounds. Just be sure to bend back the barbs on your hooks if you go, its a rule.

Gabbard Park is one of the parks thats stocked annually by the city with channel cats. You can realy tear them up with beef liver but don't expect to catch anything over a pound or two. I've heard central park is a better option for larger catfish.

Anyways, I hope this helps! Sorry I found this a little late.
