I guess if there was a place to get away from the crowds you wouldn't find it on the TFF. I went to a local lake today that is usually empty this time of year.It was packed .I can always tell when Fork is tough, because all of the out of state trailers

TaylorMade Spider Platinum Tour.

Yep, boat's in the shop so I can't fish. New putter helps me get over it.

But Lake Hawkins sux.....but is very clear.

Yep, I'd rather drive 3 hours to PK. Something about 2-3 trailers in the parking lot as opposed to 2-300 like at fork is very appealing to me. Been to Hawkins twice, my first and last time.

Frank is right... I live on the lake and haven�t seen the ramps as crowded as they have been last 2 weeks. I haven�t checked all the ramps everyday but at least 3 of the main ones have been packed everyday pretty much.

The north side of the lake will be spawning more than south. Throw a senko, one with small weight and one weightless. Don't attempt to sight fish since it's dirty. Visualize the beds in a little deeper water and focus on 4ft. Leave the bait for 15-20 seconds at a time. Fish as slow as you ever have and post back here when you catch that giant.

I fished for a couple of hours Wednesday evening at Whitney and I couldn't believe how good the visibility was. I've never seen Whitney as clear as it is right now.

I live 15 minutes from Whitney but usually I'm on Waco. I have been wondering about Whitney though. How was it?

You could see fish on beds last week on Fork. Haven't had rain since so I would imagine you could see even better now. Pick a lake right now anywhere around Texas and it should be very good.

I caught them on beds all day last Friday before Megabass. And a few on Thursday. PM me and Ill let you know where to look.

That last sentence does not apply to Canyon Lake.

Half the boats you see out there will be in Birch slinging a trap. Just get away from the community spots and you will be fine.
