Big Tex, That is one big football jig!! Might want to take a look at that.

I don't know.....I caught 4 overs last weekend along a stretch of bank close to the dam.....had bank fishing dudes hike in on me from the dam. If they had a clue what to do....they could have reached them easier that I could have.

Did a little fishing this morning, thought I would give y'all a report. Went out to the ponds in Mira Lagos. Overcast weather with light rain. Fished for about an hour and a half. First cast, fish on. Caught 12 on a chug bug and 1 on a watermelon candy baby brush hog. Biggest one was about 1 1/2 lb. Small fish but nothing beats a top water bite!

Go out to the Oasis between 9-9:30 on Wednesday nights and ask around/watch weigh in. There are tournaments out there twice a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) and same group of guys are always out there. Last night fishing was really well. Know that Pool is a slot lake. 14"-21" bass must be released. I'll Pm you

A BUBBLEGUM 19 XD & a 5oz. jig. LOL. YA gotta watch some of these guys... Enjoy the days you can get away to fish. Just for fun use a fly rod on some of the subdivision ponds the are FULL of perch!!! My grandkids love using a bobber & worms & honestly it very relaxing to me with them. They'll keep you very busy. Tons of em.

I was throwing a texas rigged brush hog in watermelon red and couldnt keep them off the line. Even had a crappie that had to get in on it

I can't help you on Joe Pool, but I would say the trinity river offers better bank bass fishing than Joe Pool or most of the lake around here. There is a ton of access and some big fish in the rivers.

My actual report isn't anything spectacular so I try to install a little humor good luck fishin!!!

Ok...my tourneys are done there for a while.

Tell your son to flip green pumpkin jigs along the bank in 1 ft of water. And HANG ON!

My best 5 last weekend would have been almost 38 lbs. Today....it was around 20 lbs best 5. All on a jig in 6-12 INCHES of water. So, I'd say the bank is a great place to try his luck.
Funny....boaters are always trying to cast to the bank and bank fishermen are always trying to cast way out. Haha

I don't like minnows either but since I go with other people they get bored if there isn't any fish.

They aren't raised like me where I could spend 4 hours constantly fishing with lures and be happy if I caught a bluegill.
