I've found them to be pretty consistent for carp or small cats. I've never caught anything other than that, though I honestly haven't thrown any lures except for around the playa between Quaker and Indiana. The one over off of Broadway was EXCELLENT for catching some nice size carp the year before last though I haven't been back since. I used to fish a small one over off of Chicago that was good for Bass, cats, carp, whatever, but the drought took it out and to my knowledge they never restocked it. It's a shame too, I fished that pond for well over twenty years.

i have fished at canyon lake 6 thats off of 19th and MLK and have found some good bass there especially in the spring time. I used spinner baits to catch them. I know they have crappie there as well. I go to the playa lake right behind fazolis on 82nd and have caught good size bass, catfish, sunfish and carp. to catch the carp all you need is corn these days.

I've came to tech a few years ago and I've been trying to find some good spots for bass fishing. I don't really care for catching carp or catfish as the challenge just isn't there. Some people told me to try buffalo springs and my friend caught a 10 lb striper there but other than that after 2 trips I am yet to have a bite using multiple lures and techniques. So far I've had the best luck with the canyon lake system (Starts at the North loop and university and ends a little past mckenzie park). Pretty much any little lagoon or small bay is perfect. Every time I've gone to one of these since the weather has warmed up I've caught something. Usually I'll catch about 5-6 over the span of a few hours. I've caught some on a texas rig worm but by far the most effective lures I've used are my rooster tails. Yesterday my very first cast brought one in, its awesome. In the past week I've seen a few people sight fish and pull out at least a 3-4 pounder. However, I tend to pull bass 2 lb and below but with a consistant stream of them thats ok with me!

Yea the only place I've consistently caught fish while going to school here for the past 2 years is at the canyon lake system off of north loop 289. I recently had some success sight fishing there last week. I went out today but didn't see any on beds, but I'm thinking this recent cold front we had may be the reason. Heading out there tomorrow afternoon to try again, hopefully they're bedding I love sight fishing.

That's a nice chunk, I think I know where that's at. Seems like every time I go there I get skunked. Let's try and hit up that other spot I heard of this weekend.

Yea just bank fishing. I've caught a few while pitching a jig, but most of my bites lately have come from pitching a sweet beaver into beds. Seems like when I pitch a jig into a bed it scares them off.
