The only City of Grapevine ramp open is the high water at Katie's Woods. It will be a total madhouse this weekend.

I have no problem believing this story. Catching 52 bass from 12 to 14 inches is not that big a deal. Those smaller suckers can gang up at times. My Wife is a pro at catching numerous smaller LMB in one spot. She loves fishing with H20 Express lures in the CRUD model. Last week she 23 in a 20' x 20' spot under a tree off of the Trinity river. I caught an additional 16 in the same spot. She caught 37 in the curve of the baffle dike on FCL one day. I have numerous stories of these sort of fishing trips.

I have had this experience on the vine before. I ended up tying a worm on my ultra light crappie rig and had a blast.

well its true.im on my way in 30 min to see if i can try a jig for a bigger bite.stopped by Walmart and picked up 2 more of those crank baits! i did take pics and text them 1 by 1 after about 20 to my wife and nephew who both love to fish but were at work.might try and set my Iphone up to record if i can figure it out.i used to live in Winter Haven Florida and fished a lake called Eagle Lake.once i caught 72 bass up to 8 lb in about 3 hrs .that was a day to remember! also i am retired and dont fish Tournaments and longer so i dont mind sharing info.as a matter of fact i got the info of the bait right here on the forums.
