I feel the same way. The only reason I fish it so much is because the boat ramp is less than 5 minutes from the house. Went out yesterday and broke down, had to be pulled in. Went back today and caught 2 whites and two crappie. This lake has a ton of pressure. Maybe I should fish Whitney more.

What do y�all think is the best bass fishing lake within 1-1.5 hours of Waco?

Like Txfireman said, it�s my home lake, 10 mins from my house. I�ve had good days and tough days there. I just have way more experience there than Belton or Whitney, neither of which has been awesome for me. I�ve had my best luck with smallies on Belton. Whitney is just huge and I�ve only explored a few parts of it, with mediocre results. Honesty though I�d have to fish them both 10-20 times to accurately assess.

I�d drive to find some easier/better/different fishing. But I�d just as soon strike out 10 mins from home than strike out 100 mi from home. :-)

Whitney and stillhouse are great lakes. Stillhouse is really coming back and Whitney was a secret for a while but not now. Tradinghouse is pretty good when the lake is full. Brazos river has some good fish in it but can be hard to catch at times. I know a guy that catches monsters out of aquilla but most struggle. Belton has lots of fish but can be dink fest. Limestone has lots of good quality fish but not a lot of fish over 7 pounds

Not sure if y'all follow the South 40 but a boat caught a 10 pounder on Waco this weekend.

Waco has always been good for us . It can be tough , we always grind it out and it pays off .
