Let the beetchin begin.

Palestine?

Been taking some weight to win out there is what was in last months Bassmaster mag.

Friend of mine said he had a thirty pound sack out there a week ago last Sunday. They did not fair so well in our tournament . I believe him . But you know how it goes you got to have everything go your way, and for the sun and the moon be lined up just right for it to happen.
And they left out another east Texas gem as far as I am concerned . LOP

Squaw??? no fish there

I mean, its a good lake that spits out some stupid sacks at times, but wouldn't have put it up there with the others. For the same fact Squaw is fun, but I wouldn't classify it with them either.

No Benbrook?

Squaw creek took #18 spot

Falcon seems to be really quietly making a nice comeback.

I believe it about Palestine. Ray Roberts is a toilet...

What's the best lake in Texas, not on the list? Allan Henry? Athens?

Ray Roberts? I'd put Lewisville on the list before RR.

That's basically what Keith Combs said about it during the TTBC

They just spread the list around each year to give the different areas some advertisement and economy lifts. I cant see what it matters what, how or why they rate lakes anyway. If they rated Falcon #1, would that incline anyone from DFW to make the 15 hour hike down there to fish it? For the most part I would guess this is filler info for the company. The more info they can put out, the more value is perceived thus the more sales increase. BASS is little more than an advertising company anymore.

I like my toilet . Glad to see it on the list

Yes they will make the drive. I have been on Toledo Bend my whole life and this last year have seen the biggest increase in visitors coming from all over the USA to fish because it's the "number 1 lake in the country"! Ridiculous amount of increase in pressure. I guess they will name it number one until they do enough damage and it starts to suck and then they can go ruin another lake.

Keith combs was also getting over 20 bites a day in practice and shaking them off. Big bites too.... that turned to 6 and 7 come tournament day. The fish did not eat during that tournament for whatever reason.

I'll make that drive regardless of it's ranking in a magazine

I am glad to see some of my favorite lakes not on there.

I concur sir!!

LOL. I agree wholeheartedly.

Falls of the Nuese is about 12 mins from my door step. Ledge fishing at its finest but of course being from Texas I find the nastiest lay downs I can and it paid off big early this month. Caught my PB 7# 1oz bass in my club tourney. Finished 2nd place on Smith Mountain Lake in VA. Pretty cool to travel and fish all these lakes that are ranked up there!! 4 tourneys this year and I have finished 3,2,4,2. Looking for that W though. Fun to beat em on the lakes they fish daily!!!

Lol at no Conroe

Texoma should be drained. They are high.

I read a consumer reports magazine one time when they ranked the top 10 domestic beers. Number one ranking......Busch.
I knew from then on that there was some sort of hidden agenda behind any magazine ranking.
Sure am glad to live in Texas though!

I've only fished 10 of these. Need to get busy

Strange list.

Yea, Ray Roberts should be dropped from everyone's list.

Not many central, south, or west Texas lakes on that list - just Falcon. Fayette and Bastrop usually make the cut. Not this year. Which is fine by me.

-SSJr

Roberts is terrible everyone needs to go elsewhere all the fish from ray roberts are now living in Lewisville, that's the place to go.

Caddo? Love Caddo, but Caddo?

I can't believe L Austin ain't on the list.How can a constant level lake go from #9 in the country a couple of years ago to not even making the top 100?

Ya I was kinda pissed when it made it again just for what you said. This year has been crazy with the amount of boats that have been there.

Should be in the top 30. Last night in a 3 fish Tuesday night Tournament 25.96 was the winning weight. It's taken insane weight to win on Tuesdays this year.

No grass left. Was there in March of 2015 and guide said they are trying to get the grass back but it's going to take time.

It's finally got some water back in it.

No Ivie...........
