Best Lake in TX to fish this weekend

Best Lake in TX to fish this weekend - 05/11/15 08:03 PM

THis will be my last weekend to get a chance to bass fish for about four months. SO I'm planning on going all out and looking to go to the hottest lake in the state right now. I want to run trot lines and jug lines at night and bass fish during the day. Where should I go? I would obviously say Fork but I'm worried we have had too much rain here in the DFW area and I've had limited success on rising lakes. Any guides that might have an opening with this short of notice? THanks!

Looking at the forecast for north and east Texas, it's going to be rain, rising water levels, and murky/muddy water for another week. Sunday is supposed to be heavy rain all central and north east Texas. I'd head south to find more stable water levels. Limestone would be my choice.

The forecast is changing a little. With this weather pattern, the least amount of rain is now predicted for the Sam Rayburn area.

Muddy or not, go to Lake Fork and fish deep.
Shallow at dawn.

I was hoping to make a trip this weekend as well. One of my only weekends I'm free. What lake is considered a constant level? Where are Ramps likely to stay open all weekend?

Power plant lakes (guessing), Centex lakes like Austin, Inks, LBJ (bass champs on Saturday) for starters

I would go to O.H. Ivie. Its not caught much water so it shouldn't be muddy and if the bass aren't biting then you always have the sandie to fall back on to. Your biggest problem will be the wind.

Toledo bend is hot hot hot! Catch it on a cloudy day and throw a frog all day and don't sit it down! Find flooded hay grass close to main river channel or main creek channel and hold on. (fish the windy side of the grass)
