Ray Roberts lake

Hello all my name is Quincy and I will be taking a group from my church out to Ray Roberts this weekend. I am new to TX so I don't know much about where to fish. I have heard that the spillway at Ray Roberts is a good place to go but I have also heard the pier at Isle Du Bois is good. Can anyone tell me what would be my best option? Thank you for your time.

The Pier is more group friendly as well as the banks there are easy to fish from and amenities, tables , restrooms close by
Below the spillway is uhmmm... more challenging

There is bank fishing and playgrounds, tables at the tip of Johnson branch state park as well.

Ray Roberts is challenging from anywhere. It's my home lake and I have trouble with it. This weekend will be windy so if your two choices are the pier or the spillway, I would take the pier. It's on a wind blown point so you might catch some sandbass or catfish. But if want to catch some fish with a group of newbies right now, I would check out the barge at lake Lewisville. Shielded from the wind and they are catching crappie outof there pretty regularly right now.

Spillway only releasing 16cfs

Sent you a PM. Then realized your original post was from April. My bad.
