Anybody started fishing yet?

Gonna hit up the creek over by the Mae Simmons disc golf course, north of Dunbar on Friday. Haven't done any fishing since August but hope they are starting to bite again.

I've been out to the Canyon lakes off of 19th the past week, no luck at all! I've thrown out about everything I have from plastic worms, crawfish (plastic), crankbaits, spin-baits... Haven't gotten a bite! Going to try some of the Playas this weekend. Has anyone had any luck so far? I'm dying to land a nice LM bass

Plan on going to the canyon lakes throughout the week. I'm in central Texas right now and the fish are spawning in the small ponds now. Hoping this span of warm weather will help warm the water temps a little.

Might do some searching this weekend? New to Lubbock this year and I'm starting to get the itch to do some crappie fishing! I know the options are limited here but if anyone has any advice I'll take any help I can get!

I haven't been able to find many crappie in the city. Buffalo Springs has a crappie house as well as lake Alan Henry. If you have a boat I know people that have caught plenty out of that lake, but it's absolutely horrible to fish from the shore.

caught 15 dink crappie at the alan henry crappie house last friday night
(I am talking 8 inches or smaller, had one good one that was about 12 we released)

Caught this at Dunbar on a T-Rigged black trick worm...

Buddy holly park produced some nice fish (1-3lbs) off shad colored shallow running squarebills near rocks during February. Tried a jerkbait and some soft plastics today with no result. Water is still a little cold.

Glad to hear there are some fish up there. Last year I fished that lake more times than I care to remember and only caught 1. Throughout an entire year... I had written it off but may try it again. I thought there would be some by the dam for sure but couldn't ever get a bite. Caught a dink on the far side off a point with a lipless crank.

Took your advice and went over to Dunbar. Caught 3 little ones, all about 7-8 inches long, on a chartreuse H&H spinner. That lake has some dirty water.

It is pretty dirty right now, I can normally use a watermelon or pumpkin worm, but switched to black this AM because of the water. I'm hoping it clears up soon. Last year the post-spawn fish were destroying spinner baits. I was using the cheap .98 ones from Walmart and they would snatch em up every 5 casts or so. Mostly little ones, but it's Lubbock and I just happy to catch fish!

I feel ya. Most of those bass are Florida strain which are notorious for being 'finicky' but the larger species (sure you know that). I know there are some better fish in the playa off 82nd behind fazolis. But they're tough to catch. weightless Zoom Flukes in Arkansas shiner and watermelon/red or chartreuse/blue spinners around dusk seem to catch one or two every other time out or so. There is no structure except for some small rocks and what not. There is also supposed to be a healthy population of crappie in it. Ive caught one nice one, but hear stories of people pulling out quite a few.

I used to live at 82nd & Quaker and tried that playa a few times without even a bite. I'm going to have to try it again now.

Went there yesterday, the water is gross bro. Almost like a milky green color. Looks like mold. Is there anywhere in town with fishable grass (emphasis on fishable)?
