Anything happening yet on Leon?
Thanks for any info.

Bittercreek.

yeah, let's hear about Leon, I love that little lake for crappie. I once saw a 7 year old kid pull a 12lb bass off that dock, couldn't believe it.

another month

I am going out there in the morning. This will be the first time for me, been want to try it for awhile now.

Sleeting good here in Big Spring. Cold. This weather gets me thinking about Big Slabs.
Hope you have a good trip Rainman. Let us hear from you when you get back.

x2 Rainman, pls post good bad or indifferent!

Well it was an ok trip this morning, did not get there until 6:30 and there was already 10 people fishing. Most of them were fishing shallow. Around 10 or 10:30 was when the fish moved alittle deeper. Only brought home 3 keepers but others were doing alot better than myself. Black/chartreuse was the color to use from 10:00-12:30, that was when I left for the day. Hope to go back next Saturday. Some people were using minnows, but most were using jigs.

Thanks for the report, 3 keepers is better than I did today at Joe Pool, the only keeper was the cute new attendant at the state park gate and she got away (from me at least).

Thanks rainman. We know they are in there!

Thx 4 the report. I went to bport and literally got blown off of the lake. Trolling motor couldn't get close to staying within 20 feet of marked fish and we were in a non wind blown cove.

It was quite windy Saturday for sure.Also it was nice fishing under a covered dock and not having to fight the wind and rain in a boat. But next trip I will bring my hunting stool to sit on, standing for 5.5 hours is abit tuff.

I drove out there today, no one was fishing, so I don't have anything really to report. I was just checking things out. That lake is looking really bad. There's some good fish in there though. The ramp is really steep.

I remember when I was about 6 yr old my Grandad worked for the city of Eastland and took us out to where they were building the dam. I could not believe how deep it was.

I haven't been to Leon for quite a long time, think it was about 10 years when I went last so a couple questions:
Where exactly is the boat dock that is covered; the one with the RV parking and a public restroom?
Also; I seem to remember there were some tiny little cabins there, right by the dock, all in a row, are they still there and where?

I want to get out there this weekend if I can. Thanks.

The cabins are still there and the bathrooms I think are open? I'll be there sat morning

Thanks but when I look at this link: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fishboat/fish/recreational/lakes/leon/access.phtml
it shows no cabins or restrooms, can anyone tell me if it's A of B or is there another that is not listed here? I think I'll be there Sunday (wish I could do Sat) and I'll be driving in the dark early in the a.m.

Neither. It's at LaMancha.

oooohhhhh, it's been so long but it's all coming back now, thanks burton

LaMancha is on the north side of the lake. If I knew which way you were coming from I could direct you. If you are coming from DFW way and coming west on I20, you can get off at the Ranger exit by the truck stop, and head south. You'll come to a 4 way stop, just go straight, and follow the road. You will come to a small store, may or may not be open, there is a turn off to your left with a large sign "LaMancha". Turn there and follow the road. I don't think they have any minnows there. The only place I know that may have minnows is on the south side of the lake, or in Cisco.

Thanks Jim, didn't think about them not having minnows, I'll call tomorrow to verify and make plans from there. I am bringing some jigs from slabmesilly that he just finished for me but did want minnows as a back up since I am just in jigonomics 101 OR jigergarten if you like that better.

since I loaded all the gear in the suv I guess I'm headed to Leon tomorrow, will be at Lamancha. Look for my faded Super Bowl XLV cap if you happen to be down there, always enjoy meeting fellow TFFers.

I will be there in the morning myself, so I will say hi.

It will be nice to have a report... Curious if there is water under all the stalls too

I went last weekend and there is still water under the stalls but it is steep going down the ramp to the stalls. If they get any sleet or ice it will be fun trying to get up and down it.

May go later today. I'll bet this morning is a mob scene out there. Shoulder to shoulder!
