You guys have to take Texoma off your list of texas lakes! Unless something happened last night, the boundry is on the south side of the lake!!! Putting it all in OKLAHOMA!!!! So, stay off my lake! (Unless, of course, you have golden honey holes I don't know about!)

I have had folks tell me that lake Mineral Wells is the 4th top rated lake in Texas for crappie. What lakes are considered numbers 1,2 and 3? The best crappie lake in Texas is the one that produced your latest limit of slabs. That may also be the same lake that skunked you a few days earlier. We can burn up the highways chasing the reports of huge crappie being caught at this lake or that, and that can be loads of fun and adventure. If it is consistent catches you're looking for, pay attention to the lake near you, learn it, fish it often, and you'll do well. Unless of course you don't know what you're doing....in that case keep on reading this forum and pay attention. Fish On!! If you spent enough time learning your lake it will turn out to be the best lake in Texas for you. It doesn't matter how few crappie other people catch on a lake, it only matters how many you can catch. And a major factor in that is how much time you spend learning that particular lake. JMHO. We speak the same lingo ezgoing. We had a travel trailer on Texoma at Paw Paw Creek Resort many years ago. From the docks there we could fish in water from 6' to 25' deep. At any time of year we could find slabs under one of those docks. Having said that my best lake must be Texoma. Paw Paw Creek resort is no more, it was fun while it lasted though. Paw Paw marina may not be there, but the brush still is.

Bobby and I took a ride over there Friday around noon. Someone has opened a private, gated community where PawPaw marina used to be. We jumped the fence where the old road has been closed and it looks like it would be a great place to try in a south wind. So, we'll likely it this sping sometime. Just west of PawPaw someone is really spending money on the new Marina...can't recall for sure but, Texoma Marina? New floating marina, new covered slips for BIG boats, new RV spaces, etc.

I have crappie fished a lot of lakes. A lot of them were good but there is always one that stands out. Lake lavon has crappie in numbers and its nothing to catch your limit of 14 inchers plus. Lavon to me is the best kept secret when it comes to crappie lakes.
If it has anything to do with fins,feathers, or fur im in

Lewisville is still a nice lake for crappie. The water level hasn't been too low compared to others.
